Scope base help!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was told by a friend how to mount the two piece base for a leupold scope, but it doesnt feel right... no real instructions. Long piece on the front or back?

I attached a picture. Is this set properly??

Taller base to the rear.

So is the way it is set up in the picture correct?

Do you have a straight edge to lay across the bases, or across the inside of the rings?

It is all leveled, I guess I was wondering if the front (long base) should he reversed or switched.

If the top surface of both bases are sitting at the same height when installed, and the scope can be mounted with the correct eye relief for you, all is good.

It looks like the bases are backwards to me.

The front base is reversible for different length of scopes eg. on a Vanguard short action my 6-18 is mounted with the ring forward for better support

It can go either way.
