Nicely done. I recall a custom rifle maker years ago that used to do a rifle like that using the Ruger actions, and his own synthetic Stock design. Had his catalog for years. "Chifton Arms" or something like that. He had his barrel maker leave nodes of metal at such points and machine them to accept rings.
I tried a scout rifle with the old Burris 2.7X Scout Scope back in the mid 90's. Found the rifle very handy and user friendly. But do not like the scope's lack of image resolution, etc.
The Leupold VX2, 1.5-4X I have on my M1A Squad Scout is far better. I suspect having 6-6.9 inches of eye relief vs. 9-12 inches in ER makes much of the difference. E
