walshie 2,804 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Scope looks very high. Do you need the raised cheek piece to get your eye up to it? Quote Link to post

Sausagedog 7,381 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Years ago low mounts were all the rage. It got real dumb when Leopold came out with a range of scopes that had the objective lens with a cut out for the barrel! Never understood it. With low mounts the first crossing point is closer and so is the second crossing point. With higher mounts the second cross over is much further with little to no difference before the first. 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,728 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I’ve tried a couple of times with the shotguns but just can’t get away with it, it all just feels wrong, so I have to pay more for everything, loads of manufacturers don’t do rifles in true left, it’s borderline racism to us wonky lefties, we are a proud people and shouldn’t be discriminated against 6 Quote Link to post

Gav 1,708 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Very nice, but agree needs lower mounts. Wonder if they do simular for the T-bolts? Quote Link to post

Phil Phil, that was my intention to go down the Boyd route , but saw these at the shooting show and at a very good price . I knew I had to have one . Jackson rifles are not stocking them anymore, so selling them of cheap Quote Link to post

The greater the gap between the bore line and the crosshair, the greater the angle to match the divergence to the point of impact. I usually zero first at about 30 paces and this is on at about 150. At 100 I'm about an inch high. At about 300 I know that IF ( On a very rare occasion ) I fire, that if I put the crosshairs on the spine the bullet goes right through the engine room. Eighty is more my favoured distance. Now if I were to lift the scope up about a foot rather than the normal 1.5 inches the divergence of trajectory would be massive. 1 minute ago, ianm said: Lefties are mongoloids and should be kicked in the nads at every opportunity! You beastly heretic. I'll have to find my cricket box. 1 Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 That's what I call a stock. Just keep it out of the fire next time. 1 Quote Link to post
