Cost to Mount a Scope

[Umma Gumma]

What's the general cost a gun shop will charge to mount a scope? I purchased a replacement scope, same size and power but a little better quality, and I don't really want to try it myself. Gun is a .270 with a 3-9 scope. I assume the rings can be reused (not very old, scopes appear to be the same size). I assume a mounting include a bore sight.

Thanks!

At the Gander, Scope mounting and bore sighting is $25.00.

Important to remember that bore sighting just gets you "on paper" @ 25 yards. But it's a start.

Another key to remember.. sometimes your rings dont get the scope high or low enough to be able to dial it in... which they discover during the bore sight..

I have seen the local gunshop have to switch rings on more then one rifle that is having a new scope mounted for just that reason.

One example as to why it is a good investment to spend the $25 to have a professional mount and bore sight it.

Thanks, guys. I plan on hitting the range after the new scope is put on. I think the $25 is well worth the piece of mind of not worrying if I did it correct myself.
