Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope Power Setting & Group Size

You want the proof marks or the receiver stampings in English?

I hate to tell you, but I set up a standard weight M1-A for a friend a few years ago, not the heavy match rifle, that shot 10 shots you could cover, outside to outside, with a 25 cent piece, using Radway Green, after about 40 shots adjusting the guide rod and bedding. Again, with iron sights at 100 yards.

Do you have an Enfield built as a sniper rifle?
What year? What kind of markings does yours have?
What kind of scope does yours wear?
It won't shoot sub MOA?
Do you know how to tune the bedding?

Does it have Century Arms Import marks? , Pictures?................DJ

Pictures...

This should be rich.

He hasn't produced a single original picture when asked.

DJ, nailed it right on the head on the first reply... and this has gone on for a week. hard to comprehend ?????????

Lee24 is a thoroughly proven Liar and internet poser. It is occasionally funny to read some of his absurd claims though. The M-70 Quality control thread was a classic.......................DJ

Dood's pictures on the other hand are usually very well done.

I really want to stay out of this but have been keeping up with it.For me time to go shoot is hard to find so I dont go as much as I would like.I have been paying attention thinking to understand how to improve.I believe I may have a solution.I do tense up at higher magnification because of the wobble I am simply not comfortable with it.Im not making excuses just understanding the situation.The tighter I grip the more my hands hurt(arthritis).I think it is a consentration issue because not enough time at the range.I do envy you guys who get to enjoy shooting so much but for a lot of us the time and expense is not so easy to come by.

I got handed a Palma Match rifle once at 600 yards; had those very fancy peep sights(?);don't know if they magnify at all,or very much about them. I had never fired a Palma gun, but at 600 I hit the bullet marker 3 times straight. I don't know how small that is,but it was far smaller than 6".I got the impression the rifle was so damn accurate it was like cheating......

I like mule deer's response...I know in the field, out to 400 yards on anything from a large mule deer up,scope magnification above 4X is, for me superfluous.

Bob-- the marker that is SUPPOSED to be used at 600 is a 3 inch spotter disc...

DJ- reason no 800s, well there are 800s shot, but you know.... we get forced to do that offhand thing, I should have been more clear.... as long as I'm not on my feet, its easy to dump em all in the 10x ring.

I had also been under the impression the SMLEs were much more accurate out farther than up close in regards to MOA, but don't recall why. I don't know why I like them but have only one, and it shot around 1.5 inches with 303 ball at 100 the few times I've drug it out...

I know you're brain-damage and grieving at leaving your little paradise have you somewhat shaken STEELhead, but I, for one, have posted pictures - of what is immaterial - and two, have never claimed to have something I don't have and failed to produce a picture when called on it.

Do try to keep up.

Jeff: Yeah, it was about that size. I was amazed at what could be done with those sights.

Rost, being in La Grange, TX do you ever come up and shoot with us at Oklahoma City Gun Club. I know a lot of guys from the Dallas Ft.Worth area do....................DJ

Pretty defensive, I just stated your pictures are better. I have seen your pictures, I haven't seen a single one from Lee.

Sorry you are so paranoid, good luck with that.

Actually Lee24 has posted one picture. It was a picture of the inside of the FN factory showing a worker assembling a machine gun. He claimed that it was "one from his laptop".
Turns out the picture was copied from another website - it was documented from where he stole it.
All on the classic "New M-70 Quality Control Thread"....................................DJ

Lee24 has posted the picture he lifted from the magazine. Now, unless you're blind, and we all know someone who can shoot 700 yds isn't blind, you saw that picture.

Pretty disingenuous of you. Good luck with that; I heard there's a 12-step program for it now, L.A.

Don�t make a further fool, and liar, of yourself by claiming you�re doing anything other than attacking me.

First, from the bolded areas above:

My pictures on the other hand�.other hand from what? Lee24�s of course. D�oh.

Then you stated my pictures are �better.� Better means a comparison. The only other picture(s) being discussed are Lee24�s. In the same passage you claim not to have seen a single picture from Lee.

So, were you lying about seeing his picture or complimenting mine...or both?



Like I said, do try to keep up.

More magnification does help me shoot smaller groups, up to a point, and especially as the range gets longer.

However, lots of magnification can really mess with your head (esp at 100 yards) by showing you your wobbles. Since head heart and hands are so connected in this martial art, I could see how having your head messed with could mess up groups size... not speaking of any one person here, just a general observation.

But for ME more magnification makes smaller groups.

C'mon guys, lets only pic on the people that really deserve it ...................DJ

Talking about really accurate rifles and good marksmanship to people who have never been around it, much less done it, is like an Olympic weightlifter trying to describe how to lift twice your weight overhead, to a bunch of couch potatoes who couldn't press 100 lbs. They think he's the one who is ridiculous.

Wow, you are further gone than I thought. Seemed pretty clear in my first post. I have seen pics of some of your rifles, recall one with a new Zeiss maybe. Anyway, it was a big mamajammer with a 56mm objective.

Methinks you are getting twisted about nothing, but if it makes you happy carry on.
