I bought a Fecker rear scope mount a few weeks ago, to mount on my Uberti 1885 Hiwall.
I got around to mounting it on the rifle a few days ago. I had to do some honing on the base to fit the dovetail on the mount, but everything came out very nice and the fit is good and snug.
The Fecker is very good quality, and very much a far superior mount than the Leatherwood mount that came with the scope. The Fecker is bright aluminum, and looks "salt & pepper" with the black front Leatherwood mount.
I haven't had a chance to shoot the rifle yet, with the new/used mount. The rifle probably did not need it, but I will only know if it shoots better after a few range sessions.
Has anyone done this mount swap with there cheap mount and had any kind of better accuracy after doing so.
Any comments appreciated.
