I have a BUNCH of Bertram 40/70 SS. Some new in the20 round boxes and some used and sized. This stuff worked well in Shiloh and C. Sharps chambers. The new brass must be trimmed but it is head stamped as 40/70. PM me if your interested and I'll do a count. I no longer shoot so I can sure spare it.

tight lever spring is good; just don't damage it by forcing removal of the block.

I have a Kowa 821 and there is no better for spotting sillouhette shooting. I use the 27X ER eyepeice.
It is clear and bright in virtually all weather conditions. It beats all the others I have seen or used.

NSB I looked at the Pedersoli web page illustration of the sight and it lacks info. It appears that there is a locking screw on the back side of the staff, where the staff attaches to the base. I would suggest you call or write Pedersoli and ask for a copy of their owners manual pages. Most of the B...
