Had this arrive in the mail of Friday from Corwin Arms.


And the final product.


Have to say I think it looks great. Had it out to the range yesterday and it's great, only had slight movement due to no notch. But, just wondering if anybody has any tricks for zeroing it in without to much use of the windage and yardage dials?
Cheers
 
So does anybody have any hints for zeroing it in? I've zeroed it using the turrets, but the reticle is now way to the right and moved significantly down in the scope, just wondering if there is a way to do a rough zero, and then use the turrets for fine tuning.
Thanks
 
all i did to zero mine was to shoot a round at 25 yards with the rifle in a rest using the iron sights and then zero the scope in to the point of impact .Also take some lock tite and put in the grove then slide the mount in place the lock tite will keep the mount from moveing.I did this with mine and the mount as never moved.Have fun these are very fun rifles to shoot
 
Hmmm.

I wondering which scope you actually got:

There are two varieties. One in which the reticles moves within the scope and view. The other like a traditional reticle.

Which do you have?

The scope I have, the reticles moves within the scope. As it is right now, when the scope it set at zero and zero, I'm missing extremely low. I just used the reticle adjustment at the range the other day to zero and had to set the scope at the 6 marker (ie 600m) in the vertical, and at 5 i believe the term is MOA to the right in order to hit the "center" of my 2 square foot target. So I was wondering if it was possible to make these big adjustments in another way, so that I can leave the reticle as close to 100m and 0 MOA as possible. Or should I just try shimming the scope in the mount and trying it that way, or just leave it as is and use the reticle adjustment. Oh and I was shooting at 100 meters.
Thanks
 
You could try shimming the scope or bend the mount. I think the soviets used the bend method. Welcome to the world of svt pu scope mounting!
 
That's what I figured. I may try bending the mount next time I'm at my buddies house and can use his vice. Think I should heat it up before bending? or try to bend it cold? I tried shimming last night and I couldn't get the rings closed when I shimmed it. So bending it will have to be.
 
I would see how much it deflects cold before using much heat. Take it easy & use small steps or you will distort it into uselessness. Unless you plan on shooting past 200 yrds, you may want to leave it as is & enjoy the better sight picture.

You're probably right. I'll probably just heat it using boiling water, and then bend it slightly. Hopefully that will will be enough. I only need to get it slightly closer, then I'll just zero the scales, and go from there. I just want to get it closer so that turrets will have a reasonable range of motion in every direction.
Thanks
 
Boiling water won't do anything but burn you. Have the mount on the rifle & make sure the rifle is as secure as you can get it (out of stock in vice, secure but not crushed). Then take a rod the same size as the scope, mounted as the scope is usually mounted & apply force in the direction you want it to move in. Check your progress with the scope every time you tweak it! A spirit level on the rifle & a mark on the wall you can line up the reticle with should be able to keep you on track.
 
We did adjustments few times best way to do it is instead of doing this on your rifle. Clamp the mount with two clamps to wooden plank, secure plank in vise and then with a pipe or metal rod start to apply force to the mount in the direction you need. Go in very small steps, after each push put it back on the rifle and to see how much more to adjust. You should get it centred without any problems
