Somewhere around 20-25 shots the front scope ring walked completely off the front block. I carefully reattached it with considerable attention to detail and after about 10-15 more rounds it was obvious it was heading forward again and that was the end of it. The metal ring/washer looking part of the contact point with the block had deformed. The metal must be insufficiently hard. In any event, this was not what I was expecting. It is also possible that the reproduction blocks provided with the scope are slightly different than originals??

Since I am the only one I am aware of that has had this experience, it will be a good idea to read more reports on the scope in action.
Mike, thanks for the range update on the Hi-Lux USMC copy. I believe yours is the first hand range report I have been able to find on the web. Without decent micrometer mounts the reproduction scope may end up having problems with repeatable adjustments or maybe just having the mounts staying attached to the blocks.
