The holes and spacing looked pretty professional until I took a Redfield Jr. mount and held it onto the reciever. The holes proved to be properly spaced, but about 5 degrees out of center. I bought the rifle for $40 then put an inexpensive (Cheap) 4X scope on it, tilting the scope to make the crosshairs stand square to centerline of the rifle. This put the aim point more or less 1/16" off center to the right. It isn't too noticeable and my oldest Nephew, to whom I gave the rifle as a birthday present has nailed three deer so far with it. I also set him up with a Lee Loader in 7x57mm and a Lee bullet mold for it. He and his brothers have a ball with that old pot iron. They load the bullets they cast without sizing over 10 gr. of Unique. It's almost more fun to watch 'em making their own ammo than it is taking 'em out shooting.<BR/><BR/>Almost.<BR/><BR/>Gerry N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-13044484406737845712008-10-12T18:01:00.000-07:002008-10-12T18:01:00.000-07:00I think you can get a set of tap and matching dril...I think you can get a set of tap and matching drill bit from Brownell's or Midway. In any case, might get two taps, just in case.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-13721066165217365322008-10-12T09:49:00.000-07:002008-10-12T09:49:00.000-07:00Appreciate the detailed report.

Its legal to mail such accessories to India but gun imports are banned since 1984. Once again thanks for the guidance. You can also look up Indians for guns forum for discussion on guns and laws in India it’s a fledgling group. <BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>GaryGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475825550814107666noreply@blogger.com
