Enfield No. 4 MkI* Repro Sniper Project - Scope Mounting Issues

[jonh172]

You need to do a proper job!
The no.32 scope have stops in both end of the
Adjustments trawel.
So the zero must be correct the first time

Yes very true, but as long as the scope is colimated to the bore axis how you achieve this is of no consequence.

Not true.
As our new friend already mentioned in post 1
The 1/4” threat will bee dangerous close to the edge
Of the rear receiver wall
So close that the high spots of the tap will break through
The surfase.
Only one thing to do.
Get an other front pad or make a new one.

Attachment 105993Attachment 105994I have been installing scopes as per the OPS experience. A centered scope tube puts the pointer tip in the location of theoretical best optical clarity, with equal elevation adjustment as depression (or there about). However we use the scopes at ranges of 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 yards - where we really need the theoretical best optical clarity and we don't need any adjustment depression below a 100 yard zero. So a centered scope can be 15+ MOA high (the OPS example sounds higher tho). As long as the windage comes into centerline at all ranges (colimated) when all the screws and pads are tightened up, the 15 MOA over gets taken up by zeroing for POI (adjusting down), leaving plenty of elevation adjustment and the best optical clarity at useful ranges. I have also observed that the rear pad groove location varies from any one manufacturer of pads - I end up using the highest of the pads that sit on the action wall and place the screws mid meat around the rear locking lug and have a collection of "lower groove pads" forming. I just set up a 1941 Longbranch along these lines, next up is 1944 BSA.
