Re other 7.62x39 Baikal
Mmm - I dont think I grubbed any key/screw as there was no where to seat it - and I also think I had rail back 1/2mm clear of breach/break face knowing the issue I had last time
I also could not understand that 3 times I shifted ret + to right and onto new bullet hole and it needed exact same next two trys (but thought maybe I did not do a final hold of main menu button to lock the shift in)
With these Thermal scopes - You fire at Bull - then freeze frame pic - them use menu and shift ret+ over to bullet hole (which is still glowing hot) - push set/lock and - usually its all over in 1 shot.
So I think it has moved up - but it still was way over from my bore sighting b4 going to range, so need to try and rectify that.
Might even change the rings and deff flip to opposite etc

Not what I meant. The grub screw is a bolt that goes through the metal. Think of a bolt with the head cut off and a recessed driver head of some sort, usually hex. Like this https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/grub-...crews/1870721/

They normally screw down from through the rail inside a ring. You can see it on this product.



On the rifle the dovetail should look like this



One of te screw will go down and engage with the groove to stop recoil movement. Not usually found on weaver as the groove in weaver interlock with the holds on the rings this stopping slippage.
