Thanks for all the comments, I am really looking forward to the completion of my rifle.

My biggest headache now is to decide what sighting system I must put on the rifle. Must I use expess sights or a peep sight? What scope must I use or will a red dot scope also work.

The rifle will be used mostly for close range hunting, not further than 50 meters.

I am wearing reading glasses, otherwise my eyes are very good, what influance will that have on a peep sight. I think I must scrap this one as it will only be a blur.

I will definately have detachable bases for the scope.

What do you think.
