Now I need to find out if there is a load that works with the scope and rifle, could always use it without the cam or drop it and use the peep I guess. I picked up the Leatherwood Camputer mentioned here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=150544 . The lowest cam settings looks like it would need a cast load with a >.330 BC 180-200 gr boolit travelling at 2000-2200 fps. The rifle is a left hand stocked Finnish M28-76 Mosin Nagant in 7.62x53r, 9-1/2 twist, .299/.308 bore, 26" barrel. The scope records 4 settings and I thought it would be nice to have one for cast. I have the Camputer sitting on an aftermarket MFI upper mount that uses the arsenal lower mount:

Nice rig. Did you make the stock yourself?

Thanks, and no, that is as issued by the Finland military for marksmanship training. They glass bedded the receiver, free floated the barrel, and did a really nice trigger job as well. I guess they felt like accomodating left hand shooters at the time.
