OSU_Sig: Thanks for that tip!
I will keep it in mind - once Varmint season commences again.
The Leupold bases came in today and I bought them, came home, sure that I had rings on hand but turns out I only had matte finished rings.
Back to town for some Leupold medium gloss rings and now the Rifle has a scope (I switched desires for now to a Weaver KT-15 - straight 15 power) and all lined up well and double bore sighted (with two different bore sighters).
We are hosting 5 German fisherman here at Rancho Varminto tonight so had to help prepare dinner this afternoon.
DEAD CALM here all day - wouldn't you know it!
Will shoot tomorrow unless high winds appear from somewhere.
Thanks again for the partial loading tip.
Hold into the wind
