Why don't you find out if it was actually granted? Why would someone "copy" an item whose patent application was filed, taking the chance to find out afterward that they may have infringed on a patent that may have been simply waiting for the ink to dry on the signature of the grant? I'm having fun doing research in other areas that interest me at the moment, so if you want to find out if the patent was granted, that's up to you.

	When I Shot Smallbore prone my Anschutz 54 had a 2 step front sight block to compensate 50 to 100 yards. I only shot the “English” match 50 meters iron sight only & never used the 2nd step. Smallbore prone is very precise though and shooters ar very fussy about possible changes in position. I heard some say they liked cheek position to be exactly the same all distances and no doubt moving the front would have kept the same cheek eye sight relationship 50 to 100. Device shown working off the rear mount that would not be a factor. Eye piece is elevated same as with clicks. Still no doubt about it, it’s designed to switch distances without clicking. Boats

	Having done more patent searches than may have been good for my sanity, they can indeed be frustrating, grossly time consuming, and ultimately unsuccessful. But it has also been my experience, as BP notes, that many companies did sometimes stamp some variation of PATENT PENDING and even PATENTED on products simply as a hopeful deterrent against copying, knowing well that a rival would be severely tasked to find out if the application had been rejected, let alone even submitted. All's fair in love, war, and capitalism. Also, for once I agree with JLouis: this device is a "solution" for what an experienced shooter would consider a non-problem. So I'm not surprised that no one else did copy it and that it's seldom seen today. Bill Lawrence

	May be a non problem, but it sure would be handy going back and forth between 100 and 200 yds in CBA matches. My Unertl requires 2 laps on the knob

	Gents, I used something like that with good results for some time on a 22 LR low wall equipped with a short 6x Malcolm copy. Dialed it in for 300 yard buffalo match, then slipped in feeler gauge / shim corresponding to zero at various shorter distances used in silhouette or whatever the game du jour happened to be. Saved a lot of guess work using those cheesy adjusters even after spending way too much time truing them up to much better consistency. Not as good as micrometer adjusters, but that's what I had at the time and wanted to see if I could make it work. It worked very well, unless they fell out! Until now, I thought I had devised something new. There goes my next patent worth millions! Hayface

Legally, an ap was supposed to have been submitted to earn the "right" to display that mark, but as far as I know, the P.O. had no means of enforcement. If a patent that had already been granted was challenged by another party claiming to be the true inventor, the dispute was settled in court, not by the P.O. Stevens marked Patent Pending on some of their scope tubes, but no patent was ever granted to them for the very good reason that no features of their scopes could support a claim of novelty. On the other hand, their detachable scope blocks could justify that claim very well, I think, but there's no record of Stevens seeking patent protection for them.

	The Womack Dual Range front sight, (smallbore), is adjustable to either 50 or 100 yards by rotating the front knurled section. Works fine and makes sense to me.

	Boats, Two Step Front sounds like the name of a C&W group on TNN.
