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

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    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.
