rigbymauser,

Ok, the conversion was all wrong, as I warned you all. As a Dane you must know very well how much more well equipped we would be if we'd only stay in metrics... It's 19 mm, so I think it's closer to 0.75". My mistake.

The fitting for the ironsights has been thought of but I will not make this rifle to be "iron's first" rifle. To me the iron sights are more of a secondary thing than for primary use. Todays telescopic sights are better and more usable than ever and I am more familiar with them anyway. Irons will be "sighted" in so, that a reasonably good hit vertically to about 50-75 meters can be obtained with the front sight alone. The rear sight will be added then to correct the side adjust.

The barrel length is 24", which is close to 61 cm.

ozhunter,

My goal is to make this as close to 9,5 lbs, but I really don't worry about it too much. It seems to be heavier than my .375 but it is not in the neighbourhood of the more massive safari rifles.
