[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2107168, member: 68758"] The bore looks crazy in the picture- must be the lighting. All I see is a bunch of reflective silver dots. The crown job [I]looks [/I]OK- but looks don't tell all (and the front sight doesn't look at all like the protected sight of the Enfields?) Taking an inch or two off a barrel shouldn't negatively impact harmonics to the degree you're indicating. Unless the smith royally effed up the crown by not dialing in the bore correctly, I'm leaning more towards the optic and/or the mount. Check the mount to be sure all screws are tight. A slightly loose mount will show at the target exactly what you're describing. If the mount is tight- could be the optic- what are you using? [/QUOTE]
