Those mounts on the 6.5 Creedmoor - especially the rear mount, did you slim them down use a Mill, or just a good old fashioned file?

I have recently fitted a 1.25-4x20 Schmidt & Bender to my Combination Gun using blanks from Reknagel. A slow but satisfying job and it seems to shoot well and retain zero when scope goes on and off. But the mounts in white a quite blocky and bulky. I keep looking at them, and then go off and do something else. I now have this for driven and its original 6x42 Zeiss for everything else.

re the 3-9x36 - I think Swarovski may be stopping the z3 which will be a shame. I have an older Nova Version mounted on my 275 and its brilliant, and looses nothing to my 4-12x50 Habicht that is on the 243 Heym SR20. I am seriously thinking about rebarreling the latter to either 6.5 Creedmoor or, given its a long action to 6.5x55, and switching the scope to a 42mm version.
