    All I can add is that if the standard issued ELEY doesn't group worth a damn (your words) in your rifle then that indicates a problem with the rifle simply because the manufacturers zeroing and accuracy standard tests are carried out using that ammo.

    Back to the finer adjustment and I see what you mean and you have a valid point. But in the real world, to move the cursor slide from , say 25 to 100 is exactly the same vertical distance on the scale, regardless of the amount of turns/clicks, surely. In point of fact, it takes 8 clicks to move the slide from 25 to 100 using a standard No8 sight BUT if you put a No5 adjusting screw and nut into a No8 sight it takes 18 clicks to cover the same distance.

    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.
