Dragonfly, I hope this doesn't sound critical, and there may be a good reason... But why is your scope SO FAR forward?

He might have a long neck.

I'm extremely far sighted.

I'm really afraid of getting scope eye

It was a test to see how long it take for someone to notice and reply :cool:

Sweet gun, How hard was the cheekpiece install and how do you like the sightron? I have heard mixed things, ever run a tracking test on it, seem to track ok?

29 minutes! Do I get a prize?!?!

[dragonfly]

Aw man, I was going to make a scope eye joke! Looks good!

Is there an advantage to having a 308 in the long action? I'm assuming just more room to work with when you're single loading?

Cheek piece was easy to install, just need to make sure your bolt clear's. I like the scope, it has a simple 1/8 dot reticle, and it tracks perfect, using Brian Litz tail target test.

No advantage to the long action. It is what I had in the safe, I paid $120.00 for the rifle about 10 years ago. It was just sitting there looking for some love and the project was born.
