Hello! I have a pcp rifle with a picatinny rail I am interested in mounting a scope on.
Now I know that with actual firearms it is recommended to place the rings on the rail at the prefered position and push them to the front as you are tightening them. Assuming the rings have the recoil bar or whatever it's called on their underside, that would help with keeping zero by managing the gun's recoil backwards which would want to push the scope forward.
Does the same method of ring mounting apply to pcp rifles? I know that the recoil on a .22 is not remotely the same as a firearm but is the logic the same and you would want to push the ring forward instead of backwards when tightening?
I am curious to know the answer to this even if it doesn't really matter due to the low power (might as well mount it right from the beginning, even if overkill)
Thank you!
