    Scope location in M1D mount

    I have just received an M1D from CMPicon, a Special with the repro scope and scope mount. The gun arrived without the scope being mounted.

    Let us not discuss this rifle (I wanted a shooter), but I do need help in positioning the scope in the mount. How much space should one have between the front of the mount and the adjustment blocks on the scope? Should the scope be positioned to give a correct image in the lense? Any hints on mounting the scope in the mount? Any and all help is welcomed. Thanks in advance, John McP

    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.

    And vary it according to what eye relief fits your shooting position best.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    Here is how mine came from the factory: the rubber eyepiece just touches the rear iron sight. Eye relief is good with the check pad mounted using the factory pre-drilled screw holes.

    Thanks for the pics, and I should have indicated the M82 scope in place of the M84. Not a lot of difference I think. Still need to find the rubber eyepiece at a reasonable price. John McP

    Mine is mounted as above with the adjustment covers being about an "1 1/4 in front of mount with the rubber eyepiece almost touching the windage knob.

    Now twist the rubber eye piece to contact the SIDE of your face, not poke your eyebrow.

    That was what I was thinking...it's supposed to shade the outside of the eye.

    It won't fit that way. It interferes with the rear sight.

    Well, most of the time you'd be employing the optic...your #2 would take the iron sight shots with his rifle.
