Just saw and examined four drillings for sale today- three have Hensoldt vari-power scopes, with the "two-=piece rail mountings- that's my term for the two piece rails set in place on the claws, with set screws that allow you to move the scope for your own eye relief-[/quote
In my experience, the "set screws" are actually screws running completely through the rails, requiring holes to be drilled in the rails for their placement, and are therefore not adjustable for eye relief without drilling additional holes.
In any case, claw mounts have a limited amount of fore and aft adjustment, since moving the scope too far forward in the mount will prevent it from being tipped forward far enough for removal.
Thanks- I missed that detail--another gem of wisdom from a fellow drilling gent- now stored in my "book of knowledge"- Thanks RWTF
