Thanks guys. Daryl, you are awesome mate. I'll shout you a NZ beer!

You can see the rifle on my thread "Simson 9.3X62 - my new toy"

The stock is a new English walnut that was done by a guy who worked at H&H in the 80's. He duplicated the original Simson stock & moved the cheek piece up for using a scope. The rear steel tube has been shortened. The recoil lug is not bedded but has a good bearing on the stock. There is also a small lug on the barrel but the screw for this has not been used in the new stock as the original floral steel bit on the stock was damaged while drilling out the rusted screws. If that screw is put on, the barrel might shoot closer to the bore sight (but I won't bother).

The base & rings are Tasco / Hilver / Lynx - made in Australia. The photo shows the steel post on which the rings lock. The front right screw for the ring is 1 mm out & the rear left screw for the rear ring is also 1 mm out. The other two screws are correspondingly in. So I presumed that the scope was pointing right of the bore line. The rings are low cost but strong & reliable.
