richo01,

The Hornady loads are just about the best grouping factory ammo that I have tried, in my gun at least. I guess it just proves that each gun has individual tastes.

The scope mount is available through The Shooting Edge, a gunstore here in Canada that does a lot of mailorder. I don't know if they will ship outside of the country. Their local shop, Target Sports, has another Asper in stock now, and I believe that they got an extra scope mount in stock when I ordered mine, several months ago. You can contact them, and the next time I stop in I will also check into it and post here.

Good luck with that Fabarm, I'm confident that it will shoot well with the right load.
