The all brass .277 Fury seems to be an excellent round. I'm just not thrilled with the bi-metal version due to costs and high pressures.
I bought a low end Sig Sauer Whisky scope Philippine assembled, nice glass and tracked ok however both the power ring and the the diopter could move backward and forward along the longitudinal axis by a little over .5 mm. I sent them an email and they said that was normal. Not having had a previous scope perform this unique mechanical feat in over 40 years of shootin I disagreed. They replied all the Sig Sauers did it. I sent it back and got a refund. Prognosis..seals and degassing... fog up miles from home.
I also got Sig Sauer scope rings. Which were also good value. After I unscrewed them to remove the scope I noticed a dent in the tube. That was odd as I'm normally light torque with I mount them. So I sat a Leupold scope in the rings and there was daylight between the scope and rings surfaces.
Philippines have been making scopes ok for years and several manufacturers make them there. But if you can F*** up the diameter of simple rings though you have to ask yourself....
And that result led me to write this. In this day and age of very tight CNC tolerances this should never happen.
I now have a Zeiss Conquest sitting on Leupold rings on the economy 1/2 MOA capable Mauser M18.
I paid over a grand more for the Zeiss scope and it only has 10 year warranty vs life for the Sig Sauer.

At the range the other day. Probably enjoying the last few years of its existence before taxcindy and the cops relegates it to gorse and lupins.
Mate who reloads commercially had a low end Nikko Stirling that had a better power ring... Nikko Stirling doesn't run round winning military contracts.

Before transitioning to Glock, I relied on a 228 for about 10yr.
