Curious if anyone's ever installed a Special Interest Arms scope mount on their #4

that scope will only ever be correct at one range unless it is set to be off the same at all distances.

Haven't actually used this one yet. But true. It's a simple, low power deal. Nice glass though. And very light. I put it on there knowing that even a little scope like this a much better than just using the irons. Especially with my eyes. My plan was to zero it at 200 yds and call it good. But if I had a better mount I'd get more ambitious about glass. I would not mind a scope that can be used for hold overs. Something with a few MOA hash marks would hit the spot (so to speak). If I get a better scope for the #4 then this Weaver will probably end up on my lever gun.

I actually don't have a problem with a yes-gunsmithing mount. My rifle's just a '49 Fazakerly. Nothing all that special or remarkable. Very bright bore though. And I have Huber trigger in it that's adjusted to a crisp 3.75 lb break. It's not a bad trigger to use, so long as you don't mind the switch to a single-stage trigger. Personally I prefer two-stage triggers, but this Huber is much better for precision than the original 7.5 lb trigger.

Getting back on track, I have no problem with a couple of small holes being drilled in the receiver, so long as they're done right. The Armalon and Fulton both look interesting though, and would be improvements over my ATI, from what I can tell. Can't run a rear sight with them, but that's probably true of most 'bolt on' mounts. Are they at least centered over the bore?

For the sake of argument, can the Armalon be purchased in the USA? And Brian, what is your web address?

Never mind. I found it through your user info.
