Scope for a No.4

Re: Scope for a No.4
I have seen a few bad reviews in USA based on losing zero etcDougan wrote:Have looked at this option; but I've been put off by people saying they're not very good...what have you heard about them?...also, again they are pushing the budget a bit, and I haven't seen any for sale in the UK (?)ovenpaa wrote:I was at Barton Road on Saturday and one of the members was zeroing a No4 Mk2 with a no gunsmith rail and one of the reproduction No32 Mk2 'scopes, it looked the part and seemed to be working quite well. A reasonably priced option and the rifle is easily returned to its original state if needed.
If I had the dosh, I'd put the real thing on it...my dad would be all for an original post sight; as would I tongueout

On the left at the bottom.
The rifle is never going to be a T4 replica; it's a Mk.2 for a start...so it wouldn't be worth the cost of getting a real No.32 (unless my premium bonds come up that is), and a replica couldn't be used in competition...also I still haven't heard a really good report of one (thanks for your comment too Breacher)...
Re: Scope for a No.4
Just checked out the MTC range...
...I don't get the obsession with illuminated reticules...it seems quite hard to find a reasonably priced turreted scope with a nice simple fine cross-hair...

Re: Scope for a No.4
I'm assuming that with these older scopes that there isn't much windage and elevation adjustment (?)...how easy/hard would it be to get it mounted straight enough to have a good zero at 300 yards and still have some adjustment left around it?

I have a SMLE (1917) that I have a non gunsmith scope mount and scope on it.
It is set up like that for my son so He can shoot my SMLE or His inheritance as He calls it, my son is registered blind the advantage of this setup is I can take the mount off and use it and put it on when he uses it.
I take it in these circumstances you will approve of a scope on an old battle rifle?

Re: Scope for a No.4
There are a couple of suitable Leupolds on Gunstar, just grit your teeth and spend the money on a quality s/h it's worth it in the long term.
