The J. P. Smithson scope mounts look a real piece of master work. They certainly make less of a visual impact on a gun's silohuette but I find that is offset somewhat by the finish of the surface differing so dramatically from the blued rib. I wonder if they need to be white or if they can be blued to match the rib?

Also, my Nimrod has the usual rear sight that pops up when the rifle barrel is selected, I'll have to ask Mr. Smithson if his bases can allow for the through travel of the pushrod that actuates the rear sight.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
