Took my '17 home after shooting the 530 yrd plate,and missing.Noticed a bit of movement at the front of the scope.Cheap rings are just that,cheap.Picked up a set of weaver rings and put them on.Gun shoots much better now,8 of 10 hits on the 530 steel,I do need more practice yet.But I am happy with the results I got.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

How well did the leather check-rest help with getting you lined up with the scope?

Pleeeeeeze tell me if the cheek-pad helped with your scope alignment.

Sorry it's been so long, my shoulder was more messed up than I thought and the doc just gave me the OK to go back to work and resume activities, like shooting, today. Will let you know how it works out, but by just shouldering the rifle, everything seems to line up just fine.
