Zeroing a No.32 scope

[vintage hunter]

I don't understand where the stories about No.32 scopes being hard to zero come from, or why it requires more than one person to do it. I can see where it's nesessary to clamp it in a padded vice to bore sight but personally I had no troubles zeroing after that. When I got ready to make an adjustment I'd just lay the rifle across my knees and use the issue spanner tool to turn the lead screw while holding the drum still. Piece of cake.

Moving it is easy enough. Moving it the correct amount is the trick!

Never took the time to cipher how many degrees of lead screw movement it takes to move one MOA. Laziness, I reckon.
