I just dropped off my Winchester 70 classic in 300 win mag to get turned into a 458 LOTT. The smith talked me into doing the winchester over the enfield, all stainless being better for alaska. I went with 24" barrel, accuracy inovations stock and muzzle break with cap for use while hunting, MB for range work. Still up in the air on sights and scope.

jealous! have fun and post pics as soon as its done

As far as scope goes I was thinking about either a 1.5-5 or 1.75-6 Leupold, or maybe a VXII 2-7x33 or 1-4x20. The 2-7 is a really hard scope to beat for versatility.

try a 2.5 scout scope

I have a couple scouts and realy like the 2.5 leupold scout scope. I was really thinking about doing up that p17 just like yours but already have a pop up peep setup on this winchester and was going to go with standard style scope.

When I called Leupold and asked about scopes for the Lott I thought he'd push me to the fixed power. But he sort of was pushing the 2.5-8 VariX3. Since I was happy to get a little more magnification, that's what I went with.

So far, about 80 rounds downrange and no problems.
