and after cutting

The rifle will have QD scope mounts, so here are the bases installed in the rib, with the lower half of the rings slid in place.

These rings are my own design BTW.

While cutting the dovetails for the bases and sights, I went ahead and machined in my name/location and caliber on the barrel rib.

Last pic for this update is display of balance :-)
