    I like it a lot. Has nice lines and with the checkering you have grip. I had the previous version as well and really liked that one too.

    I like the aesthetics and the easier access to the action. Have had it done to a few I’ve had now.
    Forgot to mention I got @robhughes-games to mill the action and flute the bolt as well. He did a great job!

    Yeah the old PH mauser I got with an absolutely toasted 7x57 barrel would've been mint. It's now a 270 but ah well

    Against the law to steal, but in this case

    The ability to have this scope display a red-dot on the reticle makes for an easy target….

    A thorough cleaning and added a nice glossy black 3-9 vx2 leupy on top and it looks the part - can’t wait to get it out to the range - may even take this one hunting. (May also be convinced to sell it as had a little bit of interest in it strangely enough)
