scoped luger

[Johnny Peppers]

Viggo,

The small amount of offset of the scope would not be a problem on the Luger at any reasonable range. The rotational drift of the bullet would be much more a factor in sighting the pistol in than the slight amount of offset of the scope. The US M1 Rifle in the scoped versions had to use an offset mount due to the rifle loading from the top with a clip. The offset was never a problem with this rifle, but also the rotational drift of the bullet was very slight (6.7" @ 1000 yds) when compared to the 9mm Luger round. The offset of the scope on the M1 Rifle was slightly less than 1"; so if you sighted the rifle in to hit to the left slightly less than 1" it would remain parallel with the bore to the extent of the accuracy of the rifle except for the outside forces working on the bullet.
