Basic considerations:
Front mounting screws. Make sure they are not too long. If the forward screw is too long, it will bottom out in the barrel threads and feel tight but won't be snugging the mount down to the receiver. If the rearmost front mounting screw is too long, it will interfere/bind as you turn the bolt.
Depending on your scope and your stance and eyes, the front of the scope might bump into a long Weaver or Picatinny style rail before the scope is far enough toward the rear to provide the eye relief that you need. In that case you might have to shorten the front of the rail.
When you mount your rings, push the crossbolts forward against the base to take up slack.
If you are not using Burris Signature Zee rings, you should make sure your rings are aligned true and lap them if necessary.
I hope this helps.
