Title: Which side of the rifle should the base mounting cap screws be on?
Post by: Jack Of Roses on November 11, 2018, 10:59:23 PM

 ???
Is there a rule of thumb on which side of the rifle that both the scope rings should be mounted do the dovetail? Right or left? I’m talking about the mounting of the rings to the rifle dovetail, not the scope to the rings. What say you?

I've always located the mounting screws on the right hand side.

Most, but not all, directional (i.e. drooper, Bullseye, one-piece with rear stop pin) mounts have the screws on the right. If they are non-directional mounts, you can choose your side.
Have fun!

I usually set mine up on the left, but the drooper on my 34 requires them to be on the right.
