Finally got the cheapo Aim Sports scope in-- A compact x4 w/mildot reticule. Turns out we didn't need any offset mounts and my guess concerning purposely weak ejection appears to be correct-- the overlap in the 403 Weaver mounts do not appear to effect it in any way. The offset rings might still be valuable as the eye relief for such a forward mounting is a bit strained, but still serviceable.
A buddy of mine gave me one of these scopes and I put it on a single shot 22LR.
Since obviously that is all I have used it on (and not extensively yet), I can't say how much recoil and abuse they can take, but it did fine so far on that little gun
Finally got my new 464. Fit and finish is excellent the wood is nice and dark deep bluing! I must say im impressed. Far better qaulity on this than my Marlin 1894SS. Got my skinner lo pro and front sights in the mail from the US cant wait to get it out and have a shot!
Hey guys Just got my scope in from mossberg though i would share some pics with you. I have not shot it with the scope yet but I have cycled a few rounds through it and it seems to work good
