Swiss Products non-D&T scope mount and sights for 1911?

[diopter]

Outdoors at 50m yesterday. Not enough time left to do 100 and 200 as I hoped.

Finally got a chance to try them outdoors today.
Really starting to hate the Millette Angle Loc 3/8" rings.
Threads on mine took forever to settle down and drifted in windage.

Finally manage some good groups with both the K11 and 96/11
K11 with 4x32 Bushnell with post reticule and cheapy Chines rings
96/11 with 4x32 Zeiss with crosshairs with the Milette angle lock rings.

K11 takes a long time to match the scope and rings to the height and placement of rear sight.
Small scope objective is a must.

I had thought about getting one of those but after seeing the extraction problems, I don't know. Would the scope work if flipped over on it's side to eliminate the casing hitting the adjustment knob?

[diopter]

Should work fine.
One of the scopes I was using (on the K11) had a post reticule, so flipping it 90° would have given an interesting sight picture, so I left it as it was.

Case mouths were hitting both windage turrets and I had no leeway in the scopes positions.

I'll work it out with time and a good sale on small objective scopes.

Just remember that by flipping the scopes the windage becomes elevation and vice versa.

[Aragorn243]

Without the windage turret being in the way, is the scope far enough to the left to be clear of an ejected case or will it bounce off the side?

I can't imagine having the case slamming into the scope helps the accuracy issue.

Confirmed, K11 ejects fine with turrets 90° to the left.

Confirmed, K11 ejects fine with turrets 90° to the left.

Do scopes have as much windage adjustment as elevation?

I would think they have the same internals. Wouldn't be cost effective to create two different sets of internals. Not an experiment I've ever had need to attempt but in this instance would be worth a shot.

[Latigo]

Yes, it works exactly like that. It's how I use mine.

This video shows shooting a K11 with a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x32 and the rear sight flipped forwards so the scope and rear sight wouldn't interfere.



Also note that scope turrets are rotated 90° so brass don't hit the turrets on ejection.
