Now listen here—if your idea of mounting a scope involves duct tape, a shaky workbench, and “eyeballing it,” we need to talk. Seriously. Your scope isn’t a decoration—it’s a precision instrument. You wouldn’t tape a telescope to a pirate ship and call it navigation, would you? Exactly.
Welcome to C.A.R. Firearms in Kent, WA, where we treat scope mounting and sight installation like it’s a science—because it is. You want to hit your target, not just “scare” it into submission. Whether you’re shooting paper at the range or lining up on a buck in the brush, proper sight alignment is the difference between a clean hit and a head shake followed by excuses.
Let’s break it down—why scope mounting done right is everything, why your cousin “who kinda knows guns” isn’t the expert you think he is, and why C.A.R. Firearms should be your gunsmithing go-to in Kent.
Let’s start with the facts. A poorly mounted scope is like a misaligned steering wheel—you can turn, but you ain’t goin’ where you think you’re goin’. And when your shot lands three feet left of your target and you start blaming the wind? Nah, man. That’s you. That’s all you.
At C.A.R. Firearms, we see it every day: guys walking in with scopes that are tilted, rings that are over-torqued, and setups that look like someone installed them during a minor earthquake. So here’s what you need to know:
If your scope’s not perfectly level and centered, your bullet’s path is taking a detour. Doesn’t matter how good your stance is—if the optic’s off, you’re off.
Set that scope too close, and you’re risking a scope bite that’ll leave you with a souvenir on your forehead. Too far, and you’re straining like a grandpa at a 3D movie. We’ll get it set just right—comfort meets control.
Over-tighten those rings and you’re crushing the tube. Under-tighten and it’s sliding like it’s on ice. There’s a sweet spot—and yes, we’ve got torque wrenches because this ain’t guesswork.
Scopes are great, but don’t sleep on your sights. Iron sights, red dots, fiber optics—whatever your preference, we install them right and get you dialed in like a pro.
🔧 Iron Sight Replacement or Upgrades: If your factory sights are duller than a butter knife, it’s time for an upgrade. Fiber optic, night sights, or ghost rings—we’ve got options.
🔧 Red Dot Sight Mounting: Quick acquisition, smooth operation. Whether it’s for your AR, shotgun, or handgun, we’ll get it mounted tight and aligned right.
🔧 Co-Witness Setup: Want a backup plan in case your battery-powered sight calls in sick? We’ll get your irons and optics working in harmony.
🔧 Custom Machining for Sight Cuts: Got a slide that needs modifying for optics or sights? Our in-house machining and fabrication team can make it happen. No problem. We do this all day.
We know—you watched a 5-minute YouTube video and now you think you’re a certified armorer. But let’s be real: there’s a difference between a tutorial and professional gunsmithing. You wouldn’t let your neighbor install your brakes just because he once saw a guy do it, would you?
Here are the biggest DIY scope and sight mistakes we fix on the regular:
❌ Canted Scopes: If your reticle’s not level, your bullets are taking scenic routes. Stop the tilt!
❌ Loose Mounts: If your scope wobbles, it’s game over. You can’t hit anything if your optic’s doing the Harlem Shake.
❌ Mounting Too High or Too Low: Your head shouldn’t be doing yoga just to get behind the glass. We position your scope so it’s comfortable, repeatable, and dead-on every time.
❌ No Bore Sighting: If you’re starting from scratch with no bore sighting, you’re wasting time, ammo, and probably your temper.
Let’s stop playing. You want it done right the first time? You want precision? You want it tight, level, torqued, and sighted in?
We got you.
