    Thanks, $350 for the lot. I had to dismantle it all myself but it was easy enough to do. Sam at Cerakote NZ was great to deal with, we coated everything down to the scope ring screws.

    Nicely done. I have a model 70 here that I'm hoping to do the same to one day. Good to see the progress and results. Enjoy.

    I think that vx1 looks perfect on it, not out or proportion at all.and realistically is all the scope you need

    A classic rifle in a classic caliber. GrandPappy will be smiling. Definitely a job to be proud of.
