How do you properly mount and zero the Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x optic?

Mount the optic using the PLx cantilever mount, ensuring the reticle is level. Use a torque wrench to tighten scope rings to 15-20 in-lbs and the rail mount to 30-40 in-lbs. After initial sighting, reset the turrets to zero by loosening set screws and repositioning the cap.
