They're here! Reproduction No32 scopes.

As I had mentioned in a previous post, the new reproduction scope and a SARCO mount shifted the windage too far to the left beyond the capability of the widgage adjustment to compensate based on use of an optical sight collimator.

I had time today to dig out additional reproduction scope mounts and did some comparison measurements of the thickness of the mount front pad as has been suggested.

My problem mount dimension 0.4885 inches

additional mount dimensions--all reproduction:

0.537
0.538
0.540
0.537
0.539
0.538

A factory mount measures 0.501. I was too lazy to pull down additional factory rifles/mounts.


I fitted the scope to the 0.540 mount and brought everything into reasonable alignment according to the optical sight collimator. At least I now have some windage travel available for final sighting in, if I ever get around to it.

It seems to me that if your interest is more in shooting than collecting, the repro mount with a Weaver scope would be more forgiving.

Thank you Peter for your advice. I do wear specticles and things are much better with them on. Now for the not so good part. Just got in from the range and am not entirely suprised at the findings. The mechanics on my particular no.32 repro do not live up to the $600 price tag in my opinion. But, what can you really expect from a knockoff that nobody's proud enough of to put their name on? The elevation or ranging adjustment worked good enough but, if you press down on it the pointer bobs up&down like a cork in the wind. Next, the real problem, was the deflection or windage screw seems to be bent. When turned left to right the pointer will rise a bit then go straight a bit then take a nose dive. Bent screw for sure. The up side to the whole mess was that, by some miracle of chance, I got the cussed thing to center up at 200 yds. Now if it will only stay there i can make do with a little Kentucky Windage at further ranges. I cincerely hope that everyone else that spent 600 hard earned dollars on one of these scopes has better luck than i have had so far. By millwright standards this ain't no percision instrument by a long shot. TO ALL MY FRIENDS @ MILSURPS.COM I WISH YOU & YOUR FAMILIES A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM TOM STILL a.k.a VINTAGE HUNTER.
