Slide the allott onto, right, left - to keep the base contact the rail evenly. Tighten the base screws in an variable satyg pattern - left, right, left - to keep the base square to the bore axi. Do not fully torque the screws at this stage. Leave them slhtly slot to allow for fine regimment whehn yu l the optic.
