Jim, you made a good transition from high power to bpcr. You are one to be respected when you show up at the range. Smiley I also heard you did quite well with your new Browning low wall at the Merrifield match this past weekend.

Bob, 
Thanks for the kind words! When I started shooting with you guys at Harris, I felt I’d found a home. I’m looking forward to this coming season. 
I had my left hand worked on two weeks ago. Going in for my right tomorrow. 
Jim

Good luck with your other hand. I had an incident with my shoulder during fall hunting and ended up tearing my bicep tendon when I started to drag my deer out of the woods. My long-range days are over because I can no longer safely move target frames up and down without risking tearing the other tendon. Hopefully I'll still be able to shoot the gong matches.

I got the (lightly used) Weaver "Competition, T-Series, XR, Model 849946, Target 36X40mm, Side Focus, 1" tube", w. fine crosshair & 1/16 MOA dot reticle scope. The lenses are crystal clear (no oil residue), target style/height click adjustments for windage & elevation are crisp & firm, focus is easily adjustable and clear from 50 - 200 yds. (That's all I tested.) Weaver rings were included. Now all I need is a proper "Top Mount Base" to fit my BSA/Martini International MKIII action.

Bump  

Evolution Gun Works (egwguns.com) provided the Weaver style base (Part #:42700: Winchester 52 Target) attaches at site of rear Unertl style base (holes pre-drilled .860 spread), 5.882" L.O.A. Torx screws & bit included.

Burris Signature Zee Rings & Pos-Align Offset Insert Kit permit scope mounting with windage & elevation adjustments centered. 
Zeroing by using ring inserts only takes time but leaves scope with full adjustability for bench/field use. Inserts protect scope tube from ring marks.

Having a new in box  T-36 with objective adjust instead of side focus, I assume everything said of side focus models apply to the one I have?  It's been sitting in box on my shelf waiting for the "right" application that has not come around as of yet so I cannot comment on quality. Curious about comments

Kid, don’t you know you’ll poke an eye out with that thing?  You need to carefully reseal the box and ship it to me immediately.

I have six AO Weaver 36's.  They're mounted on Scheutzen rifles, competition rimfire rifles, PCP Air Rifles, and even an AR15. As needed, I move them from platform to platform.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no "wrong" application for a Weaver 36.

Thanks Jack. Good to know. Ill have to disappoint the Froggie by not sending it to him. Being legally blind in my left eye I could loose it and not be out much. Right eye is another story.
