Josh, I'm sure the steel bp will be classy, and will show more of that beautiful wood. I'd make sure that both scopes had the same eye relief, and that Ralf knows what that is. It will be a big help in setting up the position for the front mount. Part of the reason I like the straight tube scopes is the greater flexability in positioning the front ring.

Did you see Garbe's article in the latest BPCN on barrel cleaning? Good info about how not to wear out a barrel.

Gemsbuck is the BEST game meat I have ever eaten, better than cow elk.

DP, see you in Reno, Thursday night? Ralf's been know to drink a beer or two.
