I am awaiting delivery or a RWS "C" mount with windage an elevation adjustments in the mount. Now, of course, I'd like to find a scope without those adjustments. RWS preferred. Any ideas?
RWS RWS scope without windage and elevation adjustments
- Thread starter Nellie
- Start date
i believe you will find that there is no RWS scope that has ever been made without turrets for adjustments
now scope have been made to be mounted in a frame that would adjust the scope but that tech is very old
if you what to find an old RWS scope i would look on Ebay
i never thought they were the best quality

Some of the RWS scopes were the exact same Hakko as the Beeman scopes without that goofy blue ring
That makes them better than the Beemans. Black with classy gold trim.

and the key is SOME while we understood the Beeman had scope made in Japan or at least marked as Beeman the history of the RWS scopes would be harder to follow and of course we are talking back to what early 80's
the posters want and needs are interesting but not very practical but that is my opinion

Seems strange that RWS would market a scope mount having scope adjustments built in, but no scope without adjustments.

Maybe so on 3/8" dovetail mounts, but pop can shims under bases work quite well. And then too, there's reversing or interchanging bases, etc.

The adjustments in the mount are just for roughing in your zero, or in other words, getting close. Once that is established, the internal adjustments on the scope are used to fine tune your point of impact relative to your point of aim.
When you mount and zero an optically centered scope in this fashion, you will have darn near the full range of internal adjustment in the scope for correcting to field conditions AND your image quality will be greater with an optically centered scope.
Shimming a one piece mount is easy enough, but shimming individual bases without truing the rings back up to each other presents its own set of problems.
The C mount rings will tilt fore and aft to make up for the elevation differences between rings when initially setting up your scope.
