I think it's stunningly beautiful, but IMO the rear sight is about 7" too far back. An open sight is most visible to aging (or young, FTM) eyes when placed up nearer the front end of the forearm. YMMV but I bet if you try it that way you'll like it.

I especially like the use of the Leupold QR mounts but you may end up with eye relief issues. The No 1 is notorious for requiring either a scope with long eye relief or else some sort of extension rings.
