Just a little update on the project kids.

The rifle has been sent off for extensive stock recontruction and a refreshed outside including oiled stock and the checkering recut. This had to be done to fix a less than optimum job done by another party.

A scope has been procured although I must say it is ten years newer than the rifle, only barely "period" legal. A Kahles S1 27 with German #1 reticle. It is mint.

A German claw and base set up has been won as of tonight, I won't see it for a couple weeks at least. Going to try being sneeky here by getting it drilled with a typical Weaver hole spacing they use on the FN actions. The mount is set up for a rail type scope. Going to modify some suitable rings to fit the dovetail and achieve the desired hieght.

Breach bolt will need to be modified but that is still in the design stages. Need the scope and mount to get that figured.

A note of thanks for the help here guys. Appreciate the ideas.
