Lovely stutzen Joel.

Yes I will growl and would go for a smaller scope.

I noticed the rear sights were further back than usual, then saw they are part of the QD scope bases as well. Haven't seen that before.

Thanks for posting Joel. Another of your rifle artworks. Hopefully your dwindling supply of Mauser actions lasts out. For me oneday!

I corresponded with Gottfried Prechtl, through e-mail about making a run of Oberndorf Type A rear sights. He said that modern shooter, and especially older eyes, prefer rear open sights to be farther forward, and so he refused my request. Most original Oberndorf rear sights sit quite far back on the barrel. I am in my mid 40’s, and I have recently noticed some difficulty with the Oberndorf rears compared to when I was younger and eagle eyed.
