You certainly have an very interesting piece of kit there jgrabow!
It will make a great plains rifle to say the least, that 6.5 is one speedster of a cartridge.
It is truly gratifying to see someone like yourself get an 80 year old rifle back on its feet & returned to what it should have been. The chances of picking up a period scope would be extraordinary to say the least, you have simply done the next best thing.
Well done mate on your labour of love.
And thanks kuduae for another history lesson, always wonderful notes of wisdom.
Cheers
