Ideally first one, them the other!
Good to know. I'll check this out. Should've ordered them with the Tikka rings.
I just set up another rifle a few nights ago. Here is my process and steps that are cheap and simple to do and get you ready to site it.
1. I use a vice with rubber soft jaws to clamp my rife
2. on the other side of the garage I run a plumb bob sting line with a weight on the bottom making it perfectly tight and plumb
3. I use the wheeler level set and get the action level in the vice left to right, then attached the level on the barrel matching level and remove the level on the action
4. degrees all action, rings, scope and parts with alcohol
5. install the ring bases racked forward in the pic, studs, whatever to spec
6. set the scope where I want it for eye relief and less then snug align the scope to the plum bob line (move the vice for alignment) and make sure the vert line of the reticle aligns with the string line perfectly
7. torque the rings to spec
8. bore site the rifle to the sting line by moving the vice
9. adjust the scope on the windage to the sting line
If you mark the distance from the center of the scope and barrel to can transfer that dimension to the sting line . Make a mark where it is bore sited. Measure up the distance and mark it. This will get you set up for elevation. Obviously you need to go to the range but this gets me typically about 4-6" MOA and on paper at 100 yards.
