    Colt scope for SP1

    Does anyone have the instruction booklet for a Colt scope (3X) that was made in Japanicon. It has a single screw that is mounted through the carrying handle of older Colt AR's like the SP1? I was curious about the procedure for zeroing it. Thanks in advance.

    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.

    Make sure the scope is securely mounted on the rifle. Place the rifle in a secure mount, remove the bolt, look at a target bulls-eye (thru the bore) at 100 yds. Set the bullet drop compensator (the large top knob) at 1 to 2 Adjust the windage/elevation screws to the center of the bulls-eye. Or...use a bore sight. This should get the rounds on the paper. At 100 yds one click is 1MOA(minute of angle). That is....one click will move the point of impact 1 inch. Fire 3 rounds and adjust accordingly.Repeat as necessary. I really like this little scope FWIW.

    I don't have the manual for the 3X but, I could probably scan the manual from my 4X and email it to you?

    That manual came in real handy! I've had a 4x scope for my M4 clone for a while and have been searching for the manual for a while...
