Thanks. It's not my first custom however it is my first GAP. Alot of sacrifice went into being able to afford one at this time.

In spite of the feelings that alot of you have towards Leupold scopes, I'm mounting a Mark 4, 6.5-20x50 with M1 turrets and a TMR ret.

George,(A10XRIFLE), if you see this post this is for you.

I was able to pick my rifle up yesterday and upon opening the box my reaction was WOW. Appearance wise its everything that I had hoped for. Thank you very much. Also thanks to Matt as he is the smith that did the build.

I mounted a Leupy 6.5-20x50 Mk4,M1 knobs with the TMR reticule. Working for the next few days so I'll have to wait before starting the break-in.

Thanks again for a job well done,

Re: Great freaking news. Rifle is finished.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a Leupold. Yes there are better scopes butfor what the gun is probably intended for Leupolds are great scopes for the money, especially if you can find a used one on ebay or a forum. In my opinion their TMR reticles are one of the best for all around tactical/paper punching. Post some pics soon.
