ty_falconNice looking rifle. I would be proud to take that to the range. It needs a scope. the same color as the stock.

BiebsThe Leupold Gunmetal Gray would probably look nice with that metal finish. You can usually get great prices on them, as the don't sell well as they don't go with many finishes, but on this one it would look great.

cmfic1I agree Biebs, only thing is, I wish Leupold would tone down the shintness on the grey scopes. If they made them more matte looking, I would bet they'd sell a bunch more.

Boss HossSorry but I have to tell the truth----I LIKE IT! Gives me an idea!

blaggYou know, I hadn't thought about the matte silver scope. I have a 2.5x7 33 Luepold and S&K rings and bases for it. The bases will be Cerrakoted but the rings were gonna be black to match the scope. The wife has never shot a scoped rifle before so the idea of a fast aqusition and wide field of view was on my mind. The rifle comes in about 7 pounds with scope.

mrfuddNice. I would have thought that it would be heavier with the 4 contour barrel though.

ChopperGuyShowed this to my wife and was ordered never to get her a pink rifle. She really likes her Blaser R93.
We both like this one. Anything to spur interest and get more people involved in shooting and hunting!
We've got twin 13 year old neices that would LOVE this rifle. They arlready like to shoot and this would send them over the edge.
I'll have to build a bigger deer blind if they both want to hunt this year.
You've given us an idea also!
Good luck.
