MR,
It is the Swarovski Z6 1-6X24-L It has the CD Reticle and (EE) Extended Eye relief. I looked at all the models in Reno this year and chose this one for recoil stability, glass and eye relief. I have shot 45 hot rounds to date (above 2600 fps)with no problems. Light gathering is exceptional, better than my Swar PHs. I like it!

AWSOME RIFLE!!! Kevin is amazing probly the best young gunsmith in the country and destined to be one of the alltime greats.

I have three of his rifles with two more being built. It's amazing how he can make a gorgeous hunting rile shoot like a bench gun.

I'm really glad you went with the Satterly action it's much nicer than the Empire actions.

Amazing rifle! Well thought out too with your choice of optics and iron sights.

Stunning rifle! Were I a man of more means, I'd have several more exact copies of that rifle built in a variety of calibers so I could guarantee I'd never have to hunt with an ugly rifle!

It should be in a textbook - THAT is the definition of a classic safari rifle.

Very elegant.

congratulations, very nice
