There is a bit of a story to the new scope of Beeman's. We took it out to sight it in yesterday and after about 7 shots the scope/mounts/rail fell off, much to our surprise. Back to Beeman's and we reattached the scope as we thought the screws securing the mounts to the rail hadn't been tightened at the shop.
Scope re attached we set off to check it out again, first shot the scope/ rail comes adrift again. This time we took the gear to re attach the scope so we put it back on again and fired a further 8 or so rounds getting the rifle sighted in. ( took out a 2 liter milk bottle at 400 meters so can't be to bad considering the weather we were shooting in.)
In answer to Veitnamcam question I think Mathis is right, the mounts will fit the rail but not the Sako dovetail. Currently the rifle is back at the shop to get the rail and receiver drilled and Tapped so the rail will stay put. Not nice seeing an expensive scope landing on the deck of the truck, twice.
