    Yes but...we also grouped at 25, then at 100...then zeroed went from there. Shot all the ranges from 100 to 600... I've never seen a range that starts at 300...

    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.

    I watched a guy trying to zero his 7mm Rem Mag at 700M at out range once what a tosser then whinging about how the group was all over the place. I don't think starting at 25 yards is an issue with a milsurp our F class we bore sight them at 300M then zero them for elevation at that range as for windage I do that at 25M as you could have conditions at 300M which may not be a true indication of zero wind so when we move to a 1000M you need a true zero for windage infact for all ranges we shoot.

    FWIW I have a few leftover No.4 front blades in the following heights if anyone needs them:

    -.030
    -.015
    0
    .030
    .045
    .060

    I am not in "the business" and not interested in selling the lot, but will GIVE AWAY single sights to anyone who knows which ONE sight they would like. PM me with your address and it goes into an envelope. Gratis to help the game.
