setting up a scope/shimming.

this is in my mamba pro 2 5-30x50 manual... SHIMMING. ideally your scope should be zeroed to your rifle as near to the middle of it's adjustment range as possible, on some rifles to achieve this it is necessary to 'shim' the lower cradle of the rear (or front)mount using a thin sliver of silver foil...

You can buy threaded studs, and then you can use a nut from the inside of the stock
I certainly wouldn't be trusting araldite
I've done this before on A/A stocks and it worked ok

Re: maybe a silly question/found 4 washers after loading bolt change

I take it they are too large to have come with the Rowan handle? Do you have scope mounts or other fittings with M4 bolts? mystery solved, the 4 washers were off a pair of sports match mounts,i ordered high sports match mounts & they were on them.so i presume they were also on the medium mount's. :D
