Tim CarneyVery attractive. Must say, 'tho, that I prefer sling swivels on a barrel band rather than on the forend.

I agree, they do look classier. But, a barrel mounted sling, when shooting off hand with sling, accuracy, IMHO, is affected. Stock mounted it will affect accuracy, but no as much. Again, IMHO
Thanks for the comments, all

SnowwolfeBeautiful rifle in a great classic chambering. You will love the MRC action. Own a stainless MRC, same chambering, in a Mc stock and the action is smooth and feeds and ejects everything I put into it.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Congrats to both the 'smith & the happy owner (don't let it sit in a safe and gather moss; shoot & hunt it!
Cheers,

Did you do much work to the action or was it used as it came from the factory.
