I sent that same scope to Germany to be mounted on my Krieghoff Ulm 9.3X74R O/U double rifle which is in the process of being stocked to my specifications. I had not had the opportunity to try it beforehand, but having used the 1" model for some time, I was sure I would be pleased with it. Nevertheless I would be happy to hear any more comments you might have about it as you gain more experience.

From your description of your first trip to the range, it sounds as though your problems have been solved.
