Scope fogged internally

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

Well eventually got round to mounting the Hawke scope on my .22 today ready to zero at weekend.  Bloody bolt catches the mag ring on the scope so looks like need to buy higher mounts or shave a bit of the bolt .....what you reckon ?

To be honest I never get low mounts and never understood the popularity of the notion that low is best! I think the term cheek weld has given the wrong impression. I shoot best with my head and neck up.

It's a shame it's ruger mounts too. How much are they?

Spoke to my mate before and hes going to shave a bit off the bolt

I think about £100 for a pair

My weaver high mounts for my Leupold were 79 quid 2 years ago .Decent mounts are priced to take your pants down tbh.

Once the cnc prog is written the machine can churn out thousands. 

Personally I'd get higher mounts rather than have the bolt machined.

Lol yeah. I use to visit the factory  that machined Daystate air rifle parts. The operator of the cnc machines had a hard time staying awake!

A lot of this stuff is priced as though someone has spent half a day making them one at a time
