hi gentlemen
not sure if this is the right place to ask so mods please remove if not applicable.
i have a beautiful verguiero 1904/39 in 8x57 and stupidly i lost the front sight protector.
i fitted a pistol scope to it just to see how accurate it could be and you have to remove the sight protector etc.
well i replaced it on but didnt screw in place as i wasnt going to keep the scope on for long and it looked tight enough for a session.
well under recoil it must have worked loose and fallen off whilst i was walking down range to zero as it was all over the place.
i know the area it fell off but its long grass and hard to find as it may be trodden it to the ground by now and i dont know anyone with a metal detector.
i know some sites in the usa have then for sale but will not ship to the uk as i have asked, i have the same issue with some australian shops too.
does any one on this site know of a shop that have one and willing to ship overseas?
rifle is converted back and shoots point of aim at 110 yds with a 3 inch group with my mk1 eyeball
many thanks
