izhevskIt has a tyiangle on receiver and i shim mount to reciever. at 100 yrds i can get 2" groups,even with my bad 60 yrs old eyes.
You might want to check that again or produce a link. I have never seen a REAL sniper go for 450. Only reproductions.....which is just about right in line for a repro.
Show me where you can get a real sniper for 450 please.
They sell the repro snipers for around 450 because of the turned down bolt, mount, scope and the smith work involved with tapping for the mount.
Some early repro snipers even had real PU scopes on them.
