I would be afraid to take that thing anywhere because it is so perfect looking.

Nice clean look......and that wood! Any plans for a scope on that?

Planning on doing something special on this gun.  Jack O'Connor had a Leupold Mountaineer 4X on his #2 rifle, which these guns are supposed to emulate.  In my search for one of those 50's scopes I turned up two, both in pretty poor shape.  I contacted Leupold and there is no way to bring scopes in a scratched, worn condition back to life.  So that option is out.

After that I bought a brand new Leupold FX II 4X which I plan something special for, but have to make sure I have enough eye relief where it will rest to allow for that something special, as the scope itself is only 10.5 inches long.  From what I can see without actually mounting it is, that the ocular end of the scope is going to be pretty even with end of trigger guard.  I would prefer it ended about an inch to inch and half back further.

Probably going to play with it this week.  O'Connor had Tilden mounts on his .270...forget finding a nice pair of those.  :DOH:  I bought like new, Buehler two piece Model 70 bases and Buehler rings.  That will give it that classic look like the Tildens.  I have them on other rifles and they are first cabin.

If the Leupold FX II doesn't allow for what I have planned, then on to a Leupold 2.5x8x36 or larger to get some additional length.  Trying to keep myself busy here. :chuckle:
