I’ve just received my latest variations. It was seven weeks between getting the email that it was being printed, and the physical certificate landing on my doorstep.

Hi, is this a Pietta manufactured model? Many thanks, Perry

Assuming you are using the Lee mold, I shoot the same bullet in 7.62x54r through my nagant using 5.5gn of Bullseye. I’ve had one failure to obturate in a few hundred of these loads, which I think was related to a rogue old work-hardened case. Not an issue if you are wearing shooting specs, know...

I had the same on my last variation about three months ago sadly - hence why I was going to report back. Like yourself, it took 12 weeks to be printed. I assume they are batching them up?

As an update on current West Yorkshire Police wait times, I put in a large and complex variation on Monday night, and it was approved as quickly as this morning. They were exceptionally helpful. I’ll update this thread once as I’ve got the physical certificate.

I’ve got this one and another enclosed one on my .44 magnum under-lever as a 45’ backup sight. I’m hugely impressed. Frankly, the one pictured above is probably better than the Holosun on my LBP - the optic is certainly clearer with less of a blue tint… and nearly a third of the price!

I’m glad the scope went to a good home… It funded something a bit more sensible for my .357 long-barrelled revolver! I’ve got to say, for such little money the Vector Optics red dots are incredible value. £105 gets you an adjustable reticle, solar panel, and wake-up sensor.

Sold to @WW.

Thank you - I’m looking forward to getting it on the range.

Agreed - I’ve already ordered a separate ammo safe as well.

Now sourced thanks to @Tim1989 .

Thanks - I need to have a proper zeroing session, and if there’s enough elevation left, I’ll be hammering it flat.

I’m using the same mount as you, but with a holosun 507. Weirdly, I think my mount was bent up by the previous owner (it came with the gun second hand) 1 I assume to get more elevation. Is your mount completely flat? I’m thinking of bending it back, as it looks a bit amateur!

Now sourced.

Yeah, I’m planning on only really getting 50% capacity out of it. That said, I shoot several pistols, so I probably can get near to the 24 gun limit… which justifies me buying more black powder pistols! Frankly, just having somewhere to lock away all of my other optics etc. will be equally handy.
