It's got steel weaver bases. (The aluminum bases and rings I bought from Knight are junk. But they did work, were very light, and were very inexpensive.)
It's got steel Leupold scope rings with thumb screws for quick removal. It returned to zero just fine at the range today!
It's got a NECG peep site which also removes without tools.
It's got a cheap Bushnell 9 power scope which works good. Did I mention that it comes off quick with no tools? :chuckle:
It's got a caldwell bipod for the range. (also removes with no tools. :chuckle:)
It's got a T/C power rod which stays in better than the Knight ramrod did. (not pictured) :chuckle:
It's got a Mountaineer green thumbhole stock. (It's lighter than the original stock, and I'm the only guy on my block to have one in green.)
So drool if you must. :drool:

I had three three holes touching at 100 yards today using the scope. Can wait to work on the peep sight now!

Sad to say, I can't work up the load yet, mine wont fire a cap. Maybe to conversion to Western on a Mountaineer causes some issues. It may be going to Iowa for warranty work before it works. But at least it looks nice:

How do you like the NECG as far as adjustability? Would you mind supplying the part # for the bases and rings?

You work up a load for that Mountaineer yet? Dang it's sweet.
I've been trying 120 grains of Triple Seven FFFg, 290 Grain Barnes TMZ Spitfire, and Harvester Crush Rib Sabots. Last trip at the range got excellent accuracy....until the barrel warmed up. Then it was hit and miss.

OK, last time at the range I focused on dialing in the peep site. It worked great with the stock front sight; elevation was already dialed in. I just had to move the group over to the left a few inches. And I'm really impressed at the accuracy with peep sight. It naturally centers the target to the eye. I wouldn't have believed that it was that much better than open sights if I hadn't tried it for myself.
The biggest and sometimes the hardest thing to master - to believe that your eyes will do most of the work for you...
