OK so I've had this M82 for 2 years and it's finally time to shoot it. It's been sitting on a shelf in my gun room getting covered in dust, I'm sick of just ogling over it.
Here's what I got, help me get ready...
M82a1 with the long barrel
Nightforce atacr 5x25-56
Badger C1 one piece mount
Here's my questions:
What should I torque the mount to on the scope tube? They're finger tight at the moment. They look like #10 machine screws with torx heads.
What should I torque the mount to the rail? Again finger tight, and they have something like 1/4 inch fine thread nuts.
Where do I start off with eye relief? It seems right where I have it now but just asking in case there's something I'm unaware of here...I don't want a broken nose.
I've heard that the upper can be zeroed by looking through the bore and then lining the cross hairs up to the mark, at least to get me on paper for the first shot. Without a bore sight, is this correct.
My backstop is a legit shooting birm at a nice range, but it's only 200 yards long or so. I'm hoping I can zero it at this close range??
What tools should I bring with me if any?
My ammo is cbc 655gr ball
I also got a lapual 338 magnum for Christmas that I will bring as well. Figured I might as well get both out for some fun.
