Help! Scoped M44 shooting WAY low.

**Devil Dog** · 04-24-2009 03:18 PM

When I first mounted my "Sheet Metal" weaver mount on my M44. It needed to be "bent". I tightened the rings on a broom stick and bent and centered the mount easily using the long barrel as a guide.

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.

Shimmed the mount with a piece of plastic and got it boresighted pretty close. Going to the range tomorrow.

Well, I've given up on the factory mount.

Going to get a Havlin mount, 1" rings and 1" to 3/4" sleeves for the rings. The optics on the scope I have are just about perfect and I like the vintage look.

Thi rifle shoots fine with iron sights. Here is the target I shot today:

When I mount the scope with the Havlin mount, I'll post more pics.

The Havlin mount is great. Rifle shoots better than me.
