Thread: Options for fitting a scope to a No1Mk3 Sporter

I had a 3* and a parker hale type bridge mount put on by the Collings in the late 70s. It alway shot about 1.5” off a rest and zero seldom wandered. After 30 years the ally PH rings stripped out and I used CZ rings. Initially it had a 4x 32 Redfield and later 2-7 vx1 leupold.

The next owner has a 3.5-18 Z5 swaro and did have trouble with the mounting for a while but has solved that with some gunsmithing. Its shooting deer now, often past 200m.

So most people have got perfectly satisfactory results from scoped .303 just not as accurate as a tikka and factory ammo is a bit expensive.
