Nice. I'd like to find that stock and swap out one of mine.

I've had a Vantage 2-7x32 on an HW30 for a few weeks now. I really like it so far. Seems like a hell of scope for only $100.

I'd probably ship it ahead rather than trying to fly with it.

PM sent.

I'm not even going to try getting a replacement or a refund. It's not worth my time. A one-piece mount is overkill for this application and I've decided I prefer the more traditional appearance of 2-piece rings on this type of rifle anyway.

Sure, it's possible my torque wrench is faulty. I don't have any way of checking that. But I've got the Sportsmatch ring bases torqued to 35 in/lb with the same wrench and the bolts aren't stripping and the dovetail is not being deformed.

Please note that it's not my intention to disparage BKL Technologies as a company, or this particular mount, in any way. If you can avoid the 2 issues I encountered, I'm sure it's a fine scope mount.

I bought a BKL-260 one-piece scope mount and sat here staring at it for 2 months while my scope was on backorder. It's such a beautiful piece of machining. My dad, who was a machinist for most of his working career, agrees that it's a really nice looking piece of work. Couldn't wait to put it to...

Someone on the Weihrauch Facebook group just explained to me that the Weihrauch photos are sub-12 ft lb UK/Euro versions. They're 4" shorter than the FAC versions. Pretty sure I want the carbine in .177.

I'm not able to look at and handle the rifles in question in person. If I purchase, I'll be ordering sight unseen. Below I've composited the photos of the HW100 sporter and carbine from Weihrauch's website and Airguns of Arizona's website. I've tried to scale them all in Photoshop close to the...
