Measuring stick for factory made post WWII sporters were ZG47, 21H and 22H rifles made by Zbrojovka Brno in Brno Czechoslovakia. Find desolate place with plenty of bunnies & hares so you can hone your shooting skills. You will become like Koromajo Bell and will NOT need a scope!

I've never puked one,nor do I know of anyone who has and to say that's a "fair representation",is the most EPIC of understatements. Re-hint..................

Robert_White Campfire Tracker R Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 3,344	I am trying to sort out in my mind how they get mounted "un-square"??? I use weaver muffler clamps, sometimes one piece bases some times two piece. I can't see how I could mount the scope "unsquare" What kind of tolerances are involved in an "unsquare" set up? I have never heard of any of my friends screwing one up. Just trying to figure it out... I hate to admit it. But quite honestly I think I am a 6x42-lEUPOLD convert. This ain't the first time I have heard folks praise them to the skies. I bought one a couple of years ago. I might sell some stuff and get 4 at once and just get all the upgrades at once and be done with it. From an engineering perspective what is it about the internals of the 6x42's that makes them rugged-er thaN the other leupolds? Other than the simplicity of the fixed power?

I've flogged on a few 6x42's myself..............(grin) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

Tracking has been repeatable. I've seen a lot of variation between different 6x42's on distance moved per the same number of clicks dialed.....but as long as it is repeatable on the same scope I don't sweat it. Just verify everything...a lotta times...
