Shop-made Aluminum sight mount

I don't want to rain on your parade, but in International Competition (Standard Pistol (22LR)), you would have to do that at 25 meters with open sights and standing to be competitive. I competed in that for many years before my eyesight failed me. I can still put 5 rds in damn near the same hole, except I just don't know where that hole will be.

On another note, I also have an Aimpoint, but no longer use it because mine at least suffers parallax issues, where just a slightly different head position changes the location of the red dot on the target. I hope yours is better. Steve

A couple of years ago I mounted an Aimpoint 40mm

My device is a bit different. I use a green laser pointer mounted on the rear sight (my handgun of choice is a S&W 617). . It is not adjustable but it is very consistent and the aim point can be adjusted with your eyes. The Green Laser is much better than the cheaper Red Laser but it is expensive. Various sellers offer a similar Green Laser for $100 to $300.

Hand-held green lasers are well under $20 now. I'm hoping the rail-mount versions will follow

25 meters? Hell, I can barely see 25 FEET! I'll NEVER pretend I can compete. I just feel like the golfer/duffer that played a few good holes in a row for a change. Been there, done that...with the total confidence that I'll be exploring the rough again soon.

Only a few hundred through a .22 RF? You have sinned. I don't feel so bad, see my recent post, now.

I put 10 rounds into a 2.18" group using Greek HXP ammo though a .303 Lee-Enfield #4 MK1 at 100 yards about 10 years ago. Two MOA might not seem stellar but it was with iron sights and a 60 year old battle rifle with lousy lockup and stock bedding and

250s rounds of .30-06 and .308 for the day at the club.

I also was in the zone imho. I pulled the target down and went home after that. Weird group, circle around the aim point. Not a tight pattern.

I've been meaning to ask about that (red dot parallax). I got an inexpensive red dot sight for my pellet gun. The sight was a Crossman, $20 - $25. I was really surprised when I discovered the parallax - I thought that no-parallax was a main feature of red-dots. So, is my parallax a matter of the low price, the brand, or do all red dots have it?

A long time ago I got a hole-in-one while playing with a bunch of buds on a coarse I'd never played before. Then I hear "That's not our green, our green is over there!".

Got anymore of that brass kicking around..Id buy it from you.

Thats boxer primed and VERY good brass. Im something of a fan of the #4s...and have a few..shrug.

I have very little left and I'm keeping it.

Yup, it is good brass and I have a few #4's also.

Lee-Enfield #4 MK1

Btw..it is relatively simply to make .303 brass from .30-40 Krag brass (which is still rather common) and convert it to fit the chamber of an individual Smellie very well. No case stretching, no head seperations and so forth. I only use new, unfired Krag brass, and it works very very well. But..shrug..it does take some extra manipulations.

I did find something about this: Aimpoint says that their red dot is parallax free at 50 m & beyond. At less that that, there is parallax. I.e., the dot needs to be held in the center of the sight. It's not at all obvious to me why that should be, but there it is.
