Mounting scopes for accuracy Part 1 - BASES

This very detailed tutorial on fitting and installing scope bases is part 1 of a two-part series on one of the very best methods of mounting scopes for extreme accuracy. I show exactly how to measure for poor base fit to the receiver, then how to bed the base to the receiver perfectly stress-free. (Part 2 of this series will soon be available - it will cover how to install the rings and bed the scope into the rings stress-free for best accuracy). Same as my online courses, I have chapters set up so you can refer back to specific parts as needed when using this as a guide for your own work -enjoy! ******* CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 03:07 Overview / getting started 06:15 Indicating scope base to check fit 11:42 Prep / mix epoxy 17:02 Bed base to receiver 26:43 Next day: Remove base, cleanup 32:14 Fit front screw 36:05 Install base and torque on 41:59 What's up next - rings & scope ******* Sign up for my gunsmithing classes and online courses here: https://gordysprecision.com Subscribe to this channel here and let's get started:    / @extremeaccuracyinstitute   I've started this channel as an additional way of passing on a lot of knowledge and skills to help people learn how to do all this and more. This training will be very beneficial to newer gunsmiths and DIY hobbyists, as well as for experienced gunsmiths and manufacturers. I have been teaching in-person classes in precision rifle gunsmithing and related machining for over 29 years now (I'm still teaching these classes nearly full-time). I have been gunsmithing full-time for over 39 years, specializing primarily in extreme accuracy rifle-smithing, but now I am concentrating mostly on the Extreme Accuracy Institute training part of my business. Not everyone is able to attend one of my classes, or purchase one of my online courses, but even though I cover far more detail in my classes and online courses, you will still definitely learn a lot by subscribing and following this channel. If you have anything you'd like to see me do a video on, drop it in the comments. Thank you! Gordy Gritters Extreme Accuracy Institute https://gordysprecision.com
