Shiloh 1877 finally on the schedule

[Kurt]

Randy,

Mounting the scope and taking it off is no problem.
Just make sure when you have the barrel tapped that you mention which scope you will be using.
The A scope will take a different spacing other than the 7.2" block spacing that the MVA Win B-5 scope or some of the other scops like the DZ scope.
I have 3 MVA and 3 DZ scops and prefer the DZ scops over the MVA because of the Unertl mount they use over the MVA.

The 7.2" spacing of the blocks make it very sensitive making sight adjustments. This is what my blocks are spaced (7.2") but if I decide to keep this scope I will drill and tap the barrel for the 10.34" bases. it's very easy to over adjust with the 7.2". I have to have a flashlight to make windage adjustments when shooting under a covered firing line or even a magnifying glass to see windage adjustments.
I don't have that new front mount that they offer for the A scope but to me it looks like it's awful high ???? I stayed with the other front mount with the wind gauge adjustments.
Choosing between the 8X and 10X you made a good choice with the 8X.
