Hello B. Dudley,
I just found and read your 30-30 thread and it did bring back some good memories of Bob Hynden. He would be pleased to see your work on this project. I like the way you used the rib for the grooves for the Talley removable rings. As on my Simson .405 made by Bob, this keeps the scope close to the bores.
Also a good job with the regulation.

As an aside, I notice a marked similarity between your action and those of Merkel and Simson. Was your made in Suhl also?
