I decided to release the Audio version of this as a bonus episode, BUT it was really designed as a YouTube Video. If you are looking for a DETAILED, step-by-step walkthrough of how to mount an optic onto a hunting rifle, this is for you. I am not an expert, but hopefully this will be helpful.

Jon Gabrio is another industry insider who also happens to be a killer hunter. In this one we talk about...well... Big Bulls, Business and Behind the Scenes. Title pretty much sums it up! Be on the lookout for the film we talk about on the @Leupold Optics youtube channel August 2. Jon and my good buddy @Luke Dusenbury captured what is really one of the coolest and most visually stunning elk hunts I have ever seen! Enjoy!
