Yes, I've thought of the problem of going too light. It won't balance right. Have you any experience with Manners? They look nice. Stocks sure aren't cheap these days. Manners wants an arm, a leg and your firstborn. I'll have to check into SWFA scopes. Don't know a thing about them.
Was thinking a 3 x 9 or 4 x 12 30mm tube with Kenton ballistic turrets.
