    That picture, thread 66, really tickled me Son.... made my afternoon......! And I agree with Son 100% - as Armourers would of course. I agree Mudgee that the job IS well done but yoy ought to qualify that Mudger....... It's certainly fitted will but it ain't shootable unless your head's wel;l back out of harms way. Does that make it well built too?

    If you have three blokes shooting a telescopes rifle or ANY rifle and they all get good results it means that you have started off with a good accurate rifle AND three good shooters! That'sall!

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Peter so let me get this straight your saying it has nothing to do with the scope or its mounting to zero at all times once detached and reattached and as mentioned by Son it went back to zero at all times. All rifle and 3 good shooters only you say, all i can say is wow???

    I think what Peter is trying to say it that the rifle is accurate, and that has nothing to do with the scope. You would expect the same sort of groups, from that rifle, if it had a good aperture sight or a modern scope as long as the mounts are solid and the shooter could do his bit.

    Peter, I think what Mudgee is trying to say is that the scope mounting has proven itself to be a good solid set up...

    Conversely, if you had three mug shooters, or a barrel with a bulge at the muzzle (extreme case) or the scope did not return to position, hold it's setting or not mounted solid, the groups would have been much larger. Many factors are in play to get the results... any one of which could have ruined the day if it was wrong.
