- Talley 760420 30MM Scope Mount (Base and Rings)

- Instruction Sheet (this document)
Setup and Installation
Tools Required:
- Torque Wrench (recommended)
- Appropriate Screwdriver Bits (e.g., Torx or Hex, depending on screw type)
- Non-permanent Threadlocker (e.g., Loctite Blue 242)
- Cleaning Solvent and Cloth
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Firearm: Ensure the Henry H015 Single Shot rifle is unloaded and safe. Clean the receiver's mounting surface thoroughly to remove any oil or debris.
- Mount the Base: Place the Talley scope mount base onto the receiver of your Henry H015. Align the screw holes. Apply a small amount of non-permanent threadlocker to the mounting screws. Insert and hand-tighten the screws.
- Secure the Base: Using a torque wrench, tighten the base screws to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. If no specific torque is provided, a common range for steel screws into steel receivers is 20-25 inch-pounds. Refer to your rifle's manual for specific torque recommendations if available.
- Install the Scope: Separate the top halves of the scope rings from the base. Place your 30MM scope into the bottom halves of the rings, ensuring proper eye relief and reticle alignment.
- Secure the Scope: Place the top halves of the rings over the scope. Apply a small amount of non-permanent threadlocker to the ring screws. Insert and hand-tighten the screws, ensuring even pressure on both sides of each ring.
- Final Tightening: Using a torque wrench, tighten the ring screws to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. A common range for scope ring screws is 15-18 inch-pounds. Tighten in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure and prevent scope crimping.
- Verify: Double-check all screws for proper tightness. Ensure the scope is level and has adequate clearance from the barrel and receiver.

Operation
Once properly installed, the Talley 760420 scope mount provides a stable platform for your optic. The primary operation involves the use of the mounted scope itself. Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they remain tight, especially after initial use and during routine maintenance.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth to wipe down the mount and remove any dirt, dust, or residue. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, damage, or loose screws.
- Screw Check: After the first few shooting sessions and periodically thereafter, check the torque on all base and ring screws. Re-tighten to specifications if necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Scope Not Holding Zero: This is often caused by loose scope rings or base screws. Re-check and re-torque all screws according to the installation instructions. Ensure proper threadlocker was used.
- Scope Movement: If the scope is rotating or sliding within the rings, the ring screws may not be sufficiently tightened, or the scope's surface may be too slick. Ensure proper torque and consider using a thin layer of rosin or scope-lapping compound if issues persist (consult a gunsmith).
- Mount Not Seating Properly: Ensure the receiver's mounting surface is clean and free of burrs or obstructions. Verify that the correct mount model is being used for your specific rifle.
