A couple more images. I had Ed and Bruce make up two sets of Talley rings, one for 1 inch scopes and one for 30 mm. scopes. All metal parts were cold rust blued. I had two sets of action screws made up--one set with hex heads for everyday use and one with thin slot heads more for "show".
Since the project was aimed at producing an all-out .22LR hunting rifle, I got a March 1-10X24 scope. I has a huge 105 ft. FOV at 100 yds. on 1-power and enough top end on 10-power for typical .22LR hunting ranges. It also focuses and is parallax-free down to 10 yards.
