Hi Ben. It will be a great rifle with those improvements. Just discussed this with gunmaker. Unfortunately with my older eyes I cannot really shoot far without a scope at the moment. But should be good with improved rear sight, new pad (Limbsaver)and a new safety. Haven't had time to shoot game with mine, but would like to. Can't do much about the distance from buttpad to rear sight, but maybe a new rear sight will be enough for now.

Gryphon, looking forward to Drew's report.

Cheers, Chris
