    Zeroing the No4(T) and No32 MK3 /III for the first time Part 2

    As promised, after a slight Covid induced delay and much change in the country, Part 2.

    In Part 1 we walked through what I did to collimate the bore with the No.32 Scope - see thread here:
    https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=76986

    Now it was a case of zeroing. Couldn't be simpler really.
    Range Day, 50yds, using WW2 matched reloads (PPU case, 174gr boat-tail, 2440fps).

    Was optimistic that Part 1 would get the rifle on the paper....the results speak for themselves....quite frankly was stunned.
    The first 5-rounds can be seen on the large target. The three huns head just for fun and nostalgia.
    Unfortunately am not able to explain any adjustments because there weren't any to be made from Part 1! What's the take-away? Part 1 works...

    I will look to zero at 100m too and also experiment further at different ranges as I have time.
    Hope this has been useful and reiterate this is what 'I did' - other approaches are available...

    Also included IWM Images from WW2; firstly (IWM Images) a nod to Ma'am, and her meeting with snipers in WW2 and also of Pte Frances Miller, a notable Britishicon sniper.
