Scope ring options for Rigby Highland Stalker in 275 Rigby

[yhc]

Pain in the arse to set up initially.

It definitely is more involved than installing some other scope mounts but definitely doable.

I found the following information from EAW very helpful when I worked on my EAW ring mount.

1. EAW scope mount instruction (actual mounting instruction starts from page 37)
2. "Adhesive is recommended for reliability for decades to come. You can use a bit of Loctite on the screws, but not neccesary. Most important is the use of an adhesive at the front plate (position see instructions) and the bottom half of the front ring. Care and clean is king, work with acetone for cleaning or likewise."
   1. "In Europe we use UHU Endfest 300. In the US Scotchkote (3M) is highly recommended. Will remove without residue when a heat gun is applied."
   2. you can actually order UHU Endfest 300 from Amazon. I opted to use Scothkote (3M)
3. Torque specs:
   1. Base Screws: 1.5NM
   2. Ring Screws: 1.6NM
   3. Hinge Screws (Front foot): 4-5NM

Hope this helps someone who is looking into using EAW ring mounts.

Regards,

I used scotchkote as well. Seems to be the right level of adhesion.
