Just some friendly advice for future scope mounts.

Fasten the rings, set the scope in them with magnification on max power. Get the rifle stabilized on bipod and bags or all bags, on the ground or on the bench. Close your eyes and shoulder the rifle where it feels natural. Open your eyes. If there is any corona move the scope and start over. You should not have to adjust your cheek weld to get edge to edge clarity, adjust the scope placement instead. Place some little strips of maskig tape on the scope tube parallel to the rings for limits. Then go about leveling the scope and installing the ring caps and torquing. Remove the tape. From now on you should be able to always have a natural point of aim when shouldering the rifle.

Max power is where the need for adjustment will show itself. If ya got a clean sight picture at max power, you certainly will at minimum.
