At over $3.00 a gallon for gas, I want it leaded, 100 octane, and my windshield washed!

Don't you know....You don't need a scope for hunting in the woods or open country.  Your not supposed to.  You hunt in the super-market were the meat is made!  I like to set my stand up in can food section, from there   "made meat"  is about twenty feet away.  I don't even use my iron fixed sites, I shoot from the hip!LOL

I guess try a hunting stand in the can goods isle where the corn is. You may find some of this made meat trying to feed on the canned veggies.

I thought the made meet was called Treet ham  ,   Spam  ,   Deviled ham ,  Vienna sausages  ,  and last but not least   ..Potted Meat ........ LOL!!!!!! and I have Bagged all of them!!!!!!!!!
 
We called them in the Army Pogie Bait....   Now who has the Saltines.....????????

Here is my No4 Mk1 with a DAI mount from Brownells. It was only $50 something with a C&R on file.

S&K makes a very solid no drill mount, I use one on a No5 to test out loads then take it off for hunting. If I miss, then it's my fault.Wink

I bought the S & K mount, very easy folk to deal with.
 
The mount is rock solid and can be easily removed. Uses a wedge nut which you tighten against the charger bridge to secure the front end. I had a hard time removing the bolt for cleaning until I introduced the wedge nut to a grinder wheel, now she slips in & out just grand...
 
Hitting the target now at 100 making nice 1" groups, not bad for an old rifle and a mediocre shooter !
 
Going to the range tomorrow, so I'll post a pic of the mount.

Hi VTDC22 tryin to figure out (again) how to post a shaggin picture of my S& K mount for you. ...... any of the mods care to help me with this one, files are uploaded to my file manager, why cant I attach them?
 
Never made it to the range today, had a fantastic day with the old 12 bore shootin pigeons and crows off ripening corn, follwed by a swift one in the pub ! probably why I can't get these pics up !!! (no smart ones now!). B.
 
 
Well I'll be damned..... there it was all the time ! I 'm goin back to the pub now. good night.

S&K makes a very solid no drill mount for the No4. I use mine to see how accurate my rifles are, then I remove it to hunt with. I like the looks of the Enfield without a scope, but someday I may have to put it back on to hunt................hope not.
