Agree, there is no right and wrong here, it’s what works on the target. I can hold 2 MOA in this position, the rifle and ammo at 1.5 MOA, so typically shoot prone within the 3.5 MOA 10 ring on the NRA SR target.

I’ll be at my Dads in Ontario in a few weeks and I’ll try his No.4(T). It may work if I take up a shooting position where the angle of my body is closer to the shooting direction. Also makes a difference by moving the right shoulder and elbow forward, this pushes the rifle forward and increases eye relief.

Yes, squaring the shoulders will change the geometry quite a bit.

I just installed Weaver Top Mount rings 490404.   Not what I initially wanted, but they were available locally and priced reasonably at $26.00.  I zeroed today and they held good.

The sight is an old Weaver V3 with post reticle.

Now I have to get that beast of a  trigger down to an acceptable level. Taking to my gunsmith

(I know one ring should be on the other side of the turrets.   But in that configuration I get a scope in eye)

If your gunsmith mentions anything about filing or sanding anything to you on that trigger,sear, cocking piece. Tell him thank you for the time and walk away.

Nothing wrong with the scope mounting btw, look at an original.
