Thanks to all of you. I really appreciate your help. As Tarawa suggested in a private message I'll see about getting some black delrin and route it to fit. If I can't find some delrin I'll try some black walnut.
I like this Baikal .30-06 O/U. It fits me nicely. I have not regulated it yet, but hope to do so when the weather gets better. I'll be using 200/220gr bullets with a basic 50yd (irons) zerro and a 100yd zerro with scope. I don't reload yet so will have to rely on store-bought ammo 'till then. Any suggestions as to what brand ammo? I will be using the double for boar. In the South the hunting is mostly close and in thick cover. I'll also use it in Texas where some of the shooting will be more open and possible longer distances, therefore the scope/100yd zerroing.
Once again, thank you all for your help.
