Beautiful rifle with a very nice stock, lovely shape, and I agree with the slightly longer forearm, the proportions look perfect. Very nice metal work as well. I never really liked the side-mounts much before but recently acquired a nice MS 1903 from Beesley with a side-mount. It has the base only and I will make the rings for it.

Joel, there are two small screws next to the levers, do these adjust a gibb strip to eliminate sideways movement of the rings or do they contact the dovetail directly.

Thanks for posting.

Matt.
