New Sarco No 4 Mk I T scope mount

[Cantom]

Today I received a long awaited package from Sarco. $149.95 for a new T mount. With fear and trepidation (due to the horror stories) I carefully installed it on my BSA sniper- it threaded on very nicely.
Then, I removed the caps, keeping them lined up how they came off (no numbers stamped on to help you on this series). My Weaver K2.5 scope dropped right in, no misalignment problems showed up. I checked very carefully, didn't want to tweak the scope tube.
Now, Sarco mounts are famous for having too much left windage. Not this mount, very close to perfect, if anything it has slight right windage.

One issue is, the front hole might be a trifle tight...when you thread it off the mount doesn't fall off, it has to be pulled a bit. Not mil spec but not too bad either.
A member on Canadian Gun Nutz had an issue with the Sarco mounting screws being undersized, so I compared the fit between my Long Branch mount screws to thread and these ones. The Long Branch ones are indeed snugger, not by much but noticeably so.

IMHO, it's a great deal for the money!

BTW, Warren has my No 32 scope. For now I'll have to struggle by with the TP look...

Very nice Cantom.....

I agree with your assessment ...

I have heard (and read) on other boards that some people have had zeroing and alignment issues with these mounts, but I have to say our own personal experience was positive and we had no problems. Perhaps we were just fortunate with the particular No.4(T)'s she's mounted them on.

~Angel~ uses them her No.4(T)'s that didn't come with their own matched No.32 scope, or at other times, simply to put a more powerful scope on any of her No.4(T)'s to see how well they shoot with better glass.

They install easily and work well, plus zeroed without any problems at all. She shot as accurately with it and the Weaver 4x, as she does with any of the actual period No.32 Mk1 or Mk3 scopes. I understand that there's also one that looks similar and its manufactured in India, as is the one from Sarco.
