Thanks. I don't think they returned mine.

Makes sense.

Got my 617 back, have not had a chance to shoot it yet. It was sent in for the rear sights bottomed out already and was shooting high. Also was a couple of dings on the front of the cylinder. They replaced the cylinder, rear sight and they cut the forcing cone. I don't know what cutting the...

Glad it wasn't cracked.

Is that a crack in the bottom of the barrel in the first picture?

I figured out what is going on with the sight! It is all the way down and they torqued it down real tight at the factory trying to get it set closer. I put a little more torque on it to the left and it loosened up. So, something definitely has to be done!

I don't own a Victory, have been looking at them though. After reading these posts I wonder if the screw may be bottoming out. As someone said it will never tighten up if it bottoms out. Is it designed to where it can bottom out?

24", whoa! Mine is only grouping about 2 - 3" high.

It does not want to turn either way. It only moves a fraction. You can hear one click out of the fraction it will turn.

I guess I should have been a little clearer, that is what I was trying to do. It is shooting high, so I was trying to lower it the point of impact.

No, I didn't try that. Congratulations on your find!

Thanks birdshooter. I need to contact them about the sight. I am hoping they will send me one to replace it instead of sending the gun to them!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I just purchased my 617 last month. I tried to lower the rear sight but it will not move. It will only try to move a fraction of a turn. Anyone had this problem on any of their sights? Also the cylinder has a small spot on it, see pic. It is not major but when you pay what these things cost you...

Thanks. I did look at one a few weeks ago. I will keep an eye one it.
