How to Mount a Scope on a Remington SPS

The Remington 700 SPS rifle is a bolt-action hunting rifle featuring a strong synthetic stock. The advantage of having a rifle with a synthetic stock is that it is resistant to even the harshest weather conditions. The rifle is drilled and tapped for quick installation of scope bases. A duel-dovetail scope-mount system is recommended for securing a scope to your Remington 700 SPS rifle

Things You'll Need

Small slotted screwdriver
Dovetail scope mounts and rings

Instructions

- 1
  Inspect your rifle by opening the action and making sure it is unloaded.
- 2
  Unscrew the four plug-screws located on top of the rifle using a slotted screwdriver. The screws are located in front of and behind the ejection port.
- 3
  Place the scope-mounts on the rifle. Align the holes in the mounts with the rifle's screw holes. Secure the mounts to the rifle with the supplied screws.
- 4
  Place the bases of the scope-rings into the holes located on top of the mounts; the rings should sit parallel to the rifle barrel.
- 5
  Rotate the rings 90 degrees into their final position. The rings will lock into place.
- 6
  Remove the top halves of the scope-rings with the supplied Allen wrench. Place your scope in position and put the tops back on. Do not completely tighten the rings.
- 7
  Position the scope as desired and finish tightening the rings.
