Shimming and scope adjustment
I've had to shim my 3-9x Nikko scopes on both of my older Weihrauchs.
A bit of research, tipped off by this forum I think, showed me that Nikkos have a smaller range of MOA adjustment than, for example, a Hawke Vantage (30 vs 100).
In both cases, I've shimmed with two layers of old 135 negative, although at different ends.
Whilst I don't think this will damage the scopes, I'm annoyed at the inelegance of it! I could by new scopes but £65 per gun, for me, seems an expensive way to remedy this relatively minor annoyance. Am I likely to be sufficiently impressed by the improvement of Hawke products over Nikko products to make this a worthwhile swap? I know adjustable mounts are an option, but for some reason I'm less inclined to go this way, seems like a bit of a bodge albeit a well engineered and effective bodge.
Thanks again.
Rob.
