    Rifle Scopes Trouble zeroing MST-100

    Mounted my MST-100 on my M40A1 clone today and tried to zero using a laser boresighter at 100 yards before I take it to the range. Laser dot was pegged in the middle of the upper right quadrant and I was out of adjustment on both elevation and windage. Thoughts? What am I missing?

    My vintage Redfield 3-9 Accu-Range scope rebuild

    Again posting here since it will appeal to all you vintage shooters out there. Had purchased an Remington M40 repro from Kasumi here on the hide, which included a vintage Redfield Accu-track scope. Certainly not an original sniper as it was the typical shiny black. Scope was in excellent...
