I have spent the last 3 afternoons trying to optically mount this bad boy to my Cricket Rifle. I get off at 3:30 and by the time 5:00 get's here it's too dark to do anything.
I've had it off and on the rifle more times than I care to count and would rather have a tooth pulled than take it off again ;-)
I used the Extra High Burris 30 mm Signature Zee Weaver scope rings to mount it to my Weaver rail on the Cricket and the bell just does clear the Barrel band by less than 1/8 of an inch. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1548398483/burris-30mm-signature-zee-weaver-style-rings-matte
I used a +10 posi-align insert in the back bottom and a -10 posi-align insert in the front bottom of the ring cups and the front insert had to be canted several degrees to get the POI as close as I could before touching the knobs ;-)
The closest I could get it without touching the windage or elevation knobs was 1/8" low and 3/8" left. Then I adjusted the elevation 4 clicks and windage 11 to 12 clicks and was dead on at 30 yds.
I should mention the POI in the photo is actually the Point of Aim. I shot that hole to get an aim point, then the next shot was 3/8" left and low of it. The shot in the middle was after 5 clicks right ;-)
This is a picture of the clicks needed to get me dead center finally. Close enough for government work ;-)
Here's a couple of pics of it freshly mounted on the rifle this afternoon. Also put on the 5 inch side wheel, as I plan to set this rig up for a few Field Target matches.
As for the scope itself.......I purchased one of the second batch that Hector had Sightron work their magic on. Don't ask this ol' redneck what they did or what a MOA is cause I ain't that educated yet ;-)
Anyway the scope is a Sightron SIII FT 10-50X60 with the MOA-H reticle. Here's Hector's link on it ! http://www.ctcustomairguns.com/the-heacutectors-special-scope-by-sightron.html
Ran out of daylight to shoot groups and my ol' heart was just racing too hard to hold the rifle steady on the bags anyway. Luckily I had no wind during the sighting in process ;-)
Peace and posi-align grease
