    I looked at the scope set up and elevation either way would have stressed the tube as the front mount is not gimballed, I use Burris signature rings they have 0, +10 & -10 inserts so you can get 10MOA by using + - combination that does not stress the scope tube.

    Yes I am over the moon with the Hiscock, first one I have seen in the flesh!

    I see what you mean about stressing the tube, I seem to remember some Parker Hale front mounts allowed for some movement. I am hoping to take the rifle for a shoot over the next few days so, unless it is pretty much zeroed in already, I may have to look for PH or Burris front mount. What have you got your scope setup on?

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Not to forget, the US issue cheekpiece has been artificially aged. The scope looks very high for comfort but I'll bet it's a shooter...can't wait to see. Keep us info'ed...?

    Yes I am glad it is only a 22lr otherwise the shooting position with the high scope could cause some issues. The cheekpiece is very modern and was just added as it "looked nice". I will definitely let you know how it shoots.

    With the Burris Signatures these ones F class 6.5 x 284, APRS - 308, F class Barnard - 308, F class Rem 223.
    Still using iron sights with my 303's, my "T" rarely comes out of the safe maybe once a year putting 15-20 rounds down range for fun

    I will definitely look into the Burris mounts then, thanks! Yes a T might have to be next on the list but its convincing the "boss" to let me spend the money.
