OK, so I’ll figure something out so I can post photos.
I got the 17 HMR barrel from John Taylor and it’s absolutely stunning. Third octagon w/wedding band transition #2 weight. The stock is about done, it’s a chore to use the CPA 44-1/2 stock on a 44, but worth it. Just need to dress up around the rear Super Grade swivel stud and go over it with 600 and 1,000 grit sandpaper then I’ll get the butt plate off to be blued and seal it up and begin finishing it.
I bought a really nice Redfield 3200 and a Fecker, both 16X and both with rings and intend to use the Fecker on this rifle. It’s a Jim Dandy.
I need to chamber the liner I put in the 22 LR barrel, and file the extractor notch. Drill the fore end for the screw and escutcheon and finish the wood. I’ll order a couple pair of undrilled blocks from Steve Earl and I’ll worry about mounting them when they get here.
I’ll do something about getting photos of this rifle posted soon.
Don’t know what I’m going to do with the 3200 yet. We’ve got an ultra rare factory slick barrel Model 43 in 218 Bee, might see how it looks on it. My inclination is it will be too big to look good
