Don't bother with the Bushnell laser bore sighter. It looks exactly like the one you are using in the video and is a POS. It is very hard to get a fit with the arbors and when I did you could turn the laser in the bore and trace a 6 inch circle on the wall at 20 foot. It worked ok after I found center and sighted to that but not the quality I expected.

I normally use a "chamber" laser bore sighter...but I bought it originally to do my son's 10/22 and used it on my M-15 (since mine took a crap :angry: )
I much prefer the "Chamber" sighters myself..much easier..more cost but worth it...
Can't wait to get out and test the scope//// I will of Course do Video of it...

I've bought one of the chamber style bore sighters you speak of, NcStar, much better. I look forward to future videos.

I'm curios, what torque settings would you recomend for scope rings? The instructions I got with my adjustable torque screwdriver said 30 lbs wet or 60 lbs dry, seemed like a bit much so I stopped at 20 wet.

Uh...Torque Settings...?
I just go by what feels right..I know that isn't very PRECISE, but I think of it in the field way of thinking...
but from all I have read...I think 20 to 25 is about right...I would say if in "doubt" use some Lock tight though I don't use it my self...or Call ADM....
Hope it helps,,,,..

By wet I meant with thread locker, I could've been a bit more clear now that I read it. The old guys that broke me in swore by it. It was somewhat new to the field then,maybe not new but newly affordable, they put it on everything but lunch!

As it pertains to scope mounts and rings, thread locker (Loc-tite, et al) is a MUST. Without it, vibration from recoil and the movement of the bolt carrier will eventually cause the screw to "walk" out. The ADM one-piece mount I recently purchased even sent thread locker with the mount. A retired LEO friend of mine would call that, "a clue."

My Friend Leb...as for being a must...well that depends...On your experience, meaning...I had put 1500 rounds through my AR-10 with the Previous mount..(LR)
and not once did I have a screw come loose...I am hoping for the same out of ADM..
It is a matter of Preference in my opinion...and yes ADM does send the stuff with the mounts...as does LR..except theirs is Blue Loktite...but no matter..
If I was going into combat on a full deployment...I would use it...but for my shooting...I have not found the need as of yet...Honestly I hope I don't...
Loktight is for Engine Parts or semi Stripped screws and bolts...but You never know...what may happen.... :dry: :lol:
