[MattW]

I missed that magazine (and hence the crossover article) does anyone have a copy they could scan / photocopy for me? (I'll reimburse, obviously).

thanks

The scoe should be about optically centered when the turrets are at the mid points but that is not allways the case to check the optical center you need to mount the scope in some v blocks Use an old shoebox with a couple of v's cut in the sides lay the scope in the blocks and set it up so that you have some sort of aiming point for the cross hairs. Rotate the scope through 360 degrees the crosws should make a oval / circle around the aming mark. Adjust the turrets untill the circle is as small as possible the scope will now be truly optically centerd.

Some also call this process "Spinning the scope" i had read an article about it with some photos but forgot how its done properly. Do you have a link to it so i can see the steps carefully. I want to check if my Leupold Mk 4 is optically centered.

Im sorry I dont have any articles on how to do optical centering I got the information from an american book on sniping that I borrowed from a friend at the rufle club. the best approach is to keep the movements small so that if you go too far there is not so much to go back to find the correct position.
