I just purchased a used Savage 30.06 with a Simmons scope and mount. I ordered a new Leupold 3.5 x 10 x 40 scope. When I go to mount the new scope can I mount it to the existing rings or is there somethings I need to take into consideration when mounting a new scope. I have never mounted a scope before. Thanks for your words of wisdom...

Not sure if I am asking the right questions. Is mounting a scope as easy as attaching the rings and scope and then sighting it in at the range or will I have to have it bore sighted before I take it to the range? ANY info is a big help at this point. Scope should be arriving any day now and I have a boar hunt scheduled in a week and a half ...thanks for your help.

Welcome.
Friend, I think you need to take your weapon into a "trusted" gunsmith and let him sight it in for you.
You have a hunt scheduled and it would behoove you to let someone else do it. There's too much to explain for us to really help you. |

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

Scope mounted and ready for the range to be fine tuned. Thanks, cheaptrick, for the advice well given. Called a gunsmith once my scope arrived and set up an appointment. Now I am setup and once sighted in am ready for my boar hunt!
