Did you see the problems Frazier reported just in making adjustments to the scope? A tweak on the elevation knob, and it throws the windage off, and a tweak on the windage knob, and it throws the elevation off. If this sounds familiar, there is a reason. Go back a few posts and read about the identical problems a friend and I had while attempting to sight in the side mounted scope on his Winchester Model 94 lever action 30-30.
Unlike Frazier, we did not come up with some cock and bull story about the "unstabilized spring mounting in the crosshair ring". (reminds me of a logging mechanic describing an ailment in a large machine "The bull gear jumped the heifer shaft again" LOL)This is simply the nature of a side mounted scope, and it is also the reason you see people willing to, on the M1 Garand, endure the inadequacies of a scope mounted ahead of the breech, as opposed to dealing with a side mounted scope.
If SA Frazier, a firearms expert, had such difficulties in making this scope work, how did Oswald, with NO training in scopes at all, make this scope work?
It should be noted that Frazier admits freely that the mounting of this scope on this rifle has been done incorrectly and that there is not enough adjustment available in the scope's windage and elevation knobs to bring the scope and rifle "on target". This was a mistake on the part of the gunsmith who mounted the scope onto the rifle, and shims were required to adjust the alignment of the scope and the barrel. This is very common in scope mounting, and gunsmiths keep a goodly selection of shims on hand for just this purpose. This is also why a gunsmith will "boresight" a rifle once the scope is mounted; just to insure he has aligned the scope and barrel to the point the customer can zero in the rifle.

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
