Hi all,

Today I centered my No.32 (replica) scope.
I used the ‘vee jig’ method which worked quite well.
At 800 yards there is still a very slight wobble, but I can’t get that out.
I decided that that ‘wobble’ was most likely me rotating the scope through 360 degrees.

Tonight I read of another method: the mirror method.
When I check the centering with a mirror, the deflection setting is dead center, but the mirror image is too high.

Is that normal for a No.32 scope?
In other words, is the optical center not quite the same as the mechanical center with these scopes?

If it is, should I rely on the ‘vee’ method or the mirror method?

Thanks!!!
