This was streamed Live on Nov 19, 2020 I have been busy moving, so no time to make new videos and edit them. However, a discussion of scope mounts is way overdue, so I decided to do it in a livecast format. My office is still not quite set up, but it should do in a pinch. Here is the Fix-It Sticks kit that I use: https://alnk.to/4Mt8CLz​ It lives in my range bag and turned out to be so useful, I am thinking of getting another one. Before stumbling onto the FixIt Sticks, I used a kit from Borka Tools and still do. It has worked very well for many years and lives in another range bag I use. That way, whichever one I grab, I have something with me. I have the original one, but they have re-designed it for more adjustability since: http://shooterstools.com/Pages/BTD/bt...​ For scope leveling on picatinny rails, Fix It Sticks Scope Jack turned out to be very useful: https://alnk.to/ehU3AQI​ As far as mounts and rails go, there are many good brands out there. Aadmount that I like so much is not very easily available, but here is some info on it from a guy who designed it: http://www.aadmount.com/30mm/index.html​ https://www.swfa.com/mounts-rings-and...​ If you find one of these for sale, I highly recommend it. He also makes the best scope caps in existence. Of the more available stuff, I have had very good luck with Badger Mounts and rings: https://alnk.to/90rkaxw​ Lately, I have been using quite a few Burris XTR Signature (the "Signature" bit is important, plain XTR rings are nothing special) rings and those plastic inserts keep scope tubes unmolested. Also, I can add in extra slope without having to get a different rail. The self aligning rail clamp is also a clever feature. https://alnk.to/clPIO6o​ I am also testing the AR-Signature PEPR mount from Burris and it is kinda growing on me: https://alnk.to/2QoNQbo​ I have a lot of mileage with Warne rings, but I would not use their vertically split ones on precision scopes. The new Mountain Tech line does look pretty good and I liked the rings. They also make a Howa 1500 rail (there was a question about that): https://alnk.to/2QoNQe1​ Generally, with inexpensive picatinny rails, I have really had good luck with EGW: https://alnk.to/3cejNVW​ They also make a picatinny rail for CZ 527: https://www.egwguns.com/scope-mounts-...​ I am not a huge fan of CZ's direct mount rings (or other direct mount rings from Warne). They work OK if you are not planning to dial, but I would just bite the bullet and get a picatinny rail with NATO/STANAG rings. There are couple of others hailing from Europe (Rusan and Contessa), but they are a bit expensive: https://amzn.to/392YE2O
