Well it's nearly time to start finish work. The last of the metal work will be to make the swivel for the front and a swivel and stud for the back. Next I'll put a scope on the rifle and find an accurate load. Next I'll remove the scope and using that load, I'll zero the rear sight at distances from100 to 500 yards. That's after I make a permanent front sight.

That will complete the metal work expect for the polishing. I'll them sand and finish the wood. When the stock is 100% done I'll polish the metal, do the engraving and then blue.

Last............go hunting with it.
