A couple of weeks ago I purchased a brand new Weihrauch HW77 in the summer green laminate finish. My Hawke scope and one piece sports match mount arrived in the post this morning and I eagerly sat down to fit it to the rifle this evening. The first stage is obviously to loosen the iron sight side screw and slide the rear sight off the rear of the cylinder. Upon attempting this I discovered a slight misalignment between the cylinder halves/parts thus preventing removal of the iron sight. Upon closer inspection there is evidence of damage to the scope rail where the iron sight has obviously been forced on. Has anyone else experienced this before??? I'm planning on taking the rifle back to the shop tomorrow to see what can be done. A replacement I feel is the only fair solution!!
