looks good! Did you have to enlarge the scope rings for that scope? or can you still fit the original? ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

Ah Ha! you are following the trail I laid some time back. I dislike the Mk32 a lot, but likes the small, light handy concept. I put a 4X Hensoldt on there. Eye relief was terrible. I went with a couple of 2~8X32s, but went up to a 3~9X 40 & then just gave up & put The ART-3 on there! ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs.

Geeze your rug looks just like mine, I kicked mine around a few times, but couldn`t find the rifle.......  Rifle looks awesome. I have Pecar Berlin 4x on my swede, #1 reticle, love that scope, I don`t shoot much past 100yrd as the post pretty much covers an entire target at 200yrds. But this is what those guys dealt with back then and I find it both challenging and fun to use the old equip`t, its tough to be consistent with that old scope, but being designed for center of mass hits, I`m sure it would work fine out to 300+ yrds.

I did like the challenges presented with using the No32 scope but when I got the 7.62mm barrel installed I made the executive decision to forego the challenges. I intend to shoot this rifle as accurately as possible. Once I have it zeroed @ 100 yards for the ammunition I use, the built in bullet drop compensator will assist with me getting shots on target out to 500 yards. Challenges averted...
