Interesting rifle.

Is this set up to be a pig-stomper?

Yes it is. It will be my subsonic daytime.rig. I don't see a way to mount my digsight on it.I wish I could find a picatiny rail for it. The switch barrel rig will be the night time set up

The sight base arrivied to day, that was fast. Too bad they sent the wrong one. They sent a long action base . Nicely made I hope they have have a short action in stock. A little study revieled that the ruger scout rifle bottom metal may work for this project and make for a detacable magazine, I am calling the factory tomarrow.

The base work's, it's a little long in back due to a slant in the ruger reciever, over all I am well pleased. The comb need to be a little higher to work perfect with the digsight. I am going to need to hit the gym that digsight addes a few pounds. Waiting on bottom metal to finish.

The guy's at weigand are just great, I have never had better service, a little hicup at the start, but they had it straightend out with just a message left on the answer machine before the start of business the next day.
It does't get better than that. The uspo is kicking ups's ass on these little packages!!!
