    Is anyone familiar with this Swissicon Products adapted to an offset over bore mount?
    It looks quite nice but it looks as though the ejection problems inherent in an over the action mount may be present. Or perhaps not after watching again.

    kymauser, that one is a Swift (old all metal type) fixed 6 power. We also have a number of Leupold fixed 6 scopes.
    The mount is a nominal .578 offset from the axis of the bore and brass has no problem clearing a 1" tube. All 4 mounts, the k31 Clamp-On, the k31 Drill/Tap, the 1911 D/T and the new 1911 Clamp-On mount have no problem with a 1" scope tube. In the case of the 1911's being both mounted on the let side (just like the M1D) would need the scopes rotated to the left it the turret was in the way of ejection. Doing that simply changes the elevation knob to the windage knob and vice versa.

    People seem to forget that the M1D offset was/is more than our offset. If anyone is interested, Diaopter can explain the sighting in process with the rifle firing a .578 POI at 100 yards and that being the same out to 1,000 yards.

    If you can see the difference between a .570 POI at 100 and 300 yards you're a better man than I am, Gunga Dihn!

    This is (for me) the epitome of a scope for an off-set mount. Its a Swift Turretless fixed 8 power, rare and very hard to find. My Dad has even offered a $50 finder's reward, but so far, no luck. This scope has all metal inner workings. Look at the windage and elevation system with a slip collar that is 100% waterproof when screwed shut. Perfect scope for any SP mount. Here it's mounted on a FN. It does quadruple duty through the year.
