STEP BY STEP PROCESS OF MOUNTING SCOPE ON RUGER 77
1. UNLOAD YOUR RIFLE AND REMOVE THE BOLT.
To mount a scope on a Ruger M77, first unload your rifle and remove the bolt. Next, find the right size screws and washers for the scope base and ring you are using.

Now, it’s time to attach the scope base to the receiver. Start by threading the screws into the receiver. Once the screws are in place, tighten them down with a wrench. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, as this can damage the receiver. With the scope base in place, it’s time to attach the rings. First, thread the screws into the rings.
Next, place the rings on the scope base, making sure that they are aligned with the scope base. Once the rings are in place, tighten the screws down. Again, be careful not to over-tighten the screws.

8. LOAD THE RIFLE AND GO TO THE RANGE TO SIGHT IN THE SCOPE.
Load the rifle by inserting a magazine and pulling the charging handle to chamber a round. Take the rifle to the range and set up a target at the distance you will be shooting from.
