It's great to read all of the encouraging words, I get too close to the projects and this one was sitting in the safe because I needed to get away from it. Doug, JD & Shawn, I enjoy hearing from the other guys who do the work as we all influence each other and if I ever help to provide any measure of influence or enthusiasm it is a blessing. You help me too, maybe with enough enthusiasm to get it finished!
tim, I agree absolutely, scroll or acanthus, but it is up to the client although that is what I recommend.
Shane, at least it's not a German mega-millimeter star-spotter. But I never liked the Alaskan either, too small for a full-sized rifle. I'd have a Leupold 1.5x5 straight tube, like on my own rifle. The .280 can benefit from the 8X's.
Hope to show it in Reno next Jan. and maybe someone will pick it up and say, WOW!
Best,
Steve
