Scoping a M-10 Ross

[mr humble]

Got my M-10 back from Oregongunsmithing.

It now has a brand new .308 bore from the rusted nasty .287 that it was.

Mine is the 28" bbled model w/o the flip up sight on the rear receiver ring.

Thought long and hard about the best way to scope it. The front ring is round, the rear flat.
Digging in my box of Weaver bases I came up with a #45 and #48. The 45 countour was almost perfect so I put a piece of fine emery, abarasive up on the front ring and countoured the base to the ring. The 45 was filed flat on the bottom to fit the rear ring.

To get it right a long tube scope was mounted in 2 rings, the rings clamped to the bases, the bases set in place. The scope reticle was set at the center of it's range. With the rifle in a cleaning rest, 2 drops of gorilla glue was put on each base and a bore sighter installed. The rig was moved until it was close to centered left to right.

Let the glue dry and recheck the bore sighter.

If all is good, now you can drill and tap the rings and complete installation.

I used a Weaver J2.5 with a 6X Litscherts converter as it mounts low and has a long tube.

You can see the "308/280 Ross "being extracted.
