    New scope for a western hunt?

    Moms now vs back then

    little simple project in the shop this afternoon. Picked up a 12 ton bottle jack for the shop and instead of buying a saddle made one using materials I had laying around. Collar was made with 2" DOM .250 wall tubing bored on the lathe to fit the top of the jack snugly.
