They're here! Reproduction No32 scopes.

[HeyGhost]

Your mount has a recessed area at the bottom of the front ring this is for the scope's dowel locating pin . this will have to be enlarged from the center line of the recess right and left this will allow you to cant the scope to center your scope cross hair and post . Also be aware of the fit of the scope in the front ring ,most of the after market scope mounts including the ones made by RSM are way out of specification and when the rings are fitted they will bind in the scopes area to receive the rings .If it dose you have to shave the face and the rear of the rings to insure there is no binding .I had a original No 32 MkI scope the would not a line the post and cross wire unless the after market mount was reworked as stated above . Never remove metal from the scope . Remove metal from the mount it is the lest expansive item and if you make mistake it is ease to replace.

Thanks for the information here. So did you have a similar issue with the cant of your scope? I can hold the scope so that the turrets look level and clearly see the reticle is not rotated to align with them. I have no idea who made the repro mount I have as it came with my No 4 T rifle, but can you tell me what is considered the best repro one to use?

Yes ,I had to make the changes to work with the after market mount . When I placed the Gun Parts Corp. scope on one of my original Enfield snipers the scope lined up with no issues the scope cross hair and the post lined up with no cant and the there was no binding with the rings .The mount I have is from SARCO purchased 10 years ago . I have a second one that came from Accumounts it is some what a better in fit . The best ones came from ENGLAND ,but the maker ,I do not think is making them currently . I did not mention that rear ring must not ride up onto the scopes rear bell , be sure there is space between the rear ring and the front edge of the bell where the bell meets the tube .

Thank you. This is very helpful information. I have no idea who the maker of my current mount is but everything seemed to fit like a glove when I initially installed the scope, and that was part of the reason I was so thrown off by the cant being so far off.

Roger Payne is on his last batch of repro mounts that everyone acknowledges are the best on the market. He is down to the last 40 and will not be making anymore after this final batch.

Can you point me in the right direction to purchase one of his mounts by chance?
