Secure the Mounting Rings

First, ensure your rifle is safe and unloaded. Choose mounting rings that fit the 1-inch tube of the scope and securely attach them to the rifle's receiver, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Position for Proper Eye Relief

Place the riflescope into the mounted rings. Loosely tighten the ring caps so you can still slide the scope forward and backward to adjust for proper eye relief.

The scope works well and is easy to use. The clarity is good for the price. My only note is that in very cold and wet conditions, the front lens can fog up, but it has not affected my overall positive experience.
