Scope/camera ring

After seeing @Nibblet 's one I decided to have a crack at it. I knew I had a set of new rings somewhere that came with a scope but they were stupidly high and never got used so into the gun room and a quick search I found them.

Into the shed to with the bits and pieces and started off by searching for a bolt that'll fit into the camera

So first work on the ring was taking this bump off so I could get the square flush

Then marked it, was a little stuff up on my part I couldn't find my scribe until after I used the knife to mark it!

Guessed where center was and whacked a screw into it to mark it for the drill bit

So with a bit of Kiwi ingenuity I just put the brass screw into the hole and started screwing it hoping it would work and bingo it did.

Easy fix, covered it with tape when I put it on the scope just to protect the scopes finish

I'll finish this with some before and after pics.

I made a rig for my video camera that you could flip the screen open and video straight down the scope so you had the cross hairs on the screen in front of you , kids liked to use it when they were to small for a couple of the rifles I could also make sure where they were going to hit before firing by just looking at the screen it cut down on wounded animals and taught them about shot placement .

Thats what I want . For long range kills, go pros and the likes cant see more than 40 odd yards.

Here's the first kill with it. 3 today! Keep this up until there's none left, gun was empty! I like the way it is kinda centered on the kill sitting on the scope up there

I just put this stuff on it to it goes like rubber when dry.

That's a cracker mate! Nice little parting remark on your video too huh?

Toby I hope you are sending Nibblet a commission as he took a patent out this afternoon.

Ehhh he'll be right

this is what you see on the screen and recording , the bird was sitting on a fence 100m away . you can use the scope magnification plus the zoom on the camera .

Here's what is made a couple of weeks ago. Just left the scope ring as is and used Hal a ruger scope rail for the camera. Took about 5 mins to make. Problem is I need a decent zoom vid cam now but it worked a treat as dead on target.
