Sorry folks but I'd ditch that scope & use a Leupold 1x6 Firedot instead, engraving & numbering the scope & mounts to the rifle.
As for the scope mounts, I'm not real happy with those, they look way too high for me, not sure what you could use there but it would have to be definitely lower & naturally quick detachable.
I don't mean to criticise the choices shown they would be bullet proof as WR wouldn't put out something with their name on that they weren't happy with.
As to the rifle, I think that would be just fine as is.

Oh yeah, Rod. That is nice. I-too think the scope is too high on the Ribgy above, although it would be easy to change out rings and scope.

I agree about the mounts, but otherwise a Very nice rifle

Similar but it would be an Aimpoint and Trijacon 1-4X24 picket post reticle. Certainly agree on the mounts, plainer timber, and dogleg bolt handle so bolt knob just above the trigger.

Rod that is a damn fine looking rifle in the video's, certainly can't say the same about that dammed ugly shooter. Where did you did him up from.
