Putting a scope on the K31 Swiss

Scope Types ???

Added new thread

here is my dressed up K-31

It has the Signature rings with inserts that will allow me to shoot from 100 -800 yards. I am very happy with the setup and the offset doesn't bother me at all. I have been using the mount for 4 years so I am use to it.

 

[pccraig]

So the offset isn't a problem ?

Is there any way around it ?

Try this........

I'm thinking that the scope offset issue is more of a theoretical issue than a practical issue. M1C sniper rifles had a scope mount that was even more offset than that found on a K-31 clamp-on mount.

I haven't tested a clamp on mount further than 100 yards yet, but I'm assuming that with the scope offset by about an inch, if zero'd at 100 yards, it shouldn't be off by more than an inch at 200 yards and maybe double that at 300 yards. Crosswinds are going to have much more effect on windage than scope offset.

Nope. Zeroed at 200 yards you'll see no real
applicable difference between 100 and 300 yards. The offset means no more with this setup than with the Garand M1-D

Wow the St. Marie peices keep getting better and better, its quite impressive.

K31,

I noticed your location listed as Lost Prairie, MT. Any chance you used to own a horse named Shonkin?

Take Care,
Jim

Hey!! How the heck would you know that???? Are you from Lakeside Montana??

[k31]

Never mind. I just figured it out. Sheesh........ I've been on faster tracks before, but it seems the older I get, the faster I was.

P,

I figured "K31" was your screenname here. The Lost Prairie Chronicals make me want to move to MT...thanks for sharing.

Please allow me to use this opportunity to mention my eager anticipation of the LH thingy and volunteer as a beta tester!

Cheers,
Jim

Add one $120 K31 + one $75 St. Marie scope mount+ $15 set of Millett Angle-loc rings+ one $120 Sightron 3-9-40 scope= one $330 scoped rifle setup. Being able to outshoot most rifles that are double the cost with an old milsurp rifle= PRICELESS!

BTW I don't see the offset scope being a problem either. It is closer to 3/4" offset than a full inch also. Zeroed at 100 yards it will move impact 3/4" at 200, 1.5" at 300yards. Crosswinds and falling bullet trajectory are going to cause more problems at further distances than the offset scope will.

Why not just zero at 3 or 4 hundred yards? If the thing is offset 1", then at muzzle you'd be off 1" and less until you hit your zero.
