Or a 2.5x Leupold Lightweight in Talley lows? Kitch, do NOT pay any attention to this guy. He will cost you money!!  But he does have some fine hardware of his own.

As for mounts and rings, I'm thinking perhaps Leupold DD. Love the looks as they remind me of Conetrol.

Well, I went and got 'er done. I bought that 7x57 I posted a pic of just moments ago so, soon she'll be mine-all mine!! Reckon I'll have to work on the mustache as I've slicked faced currently...come to think of it, nearly slick headed as well. Hair only grows in the ears and nose now. Good for you kitch. Let us know how it shoots...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I think me and my dog are going to celebrate by going upstairs and partaking of a big bowl of vanilla ice cream and blueberry pie!

If it were mine,the mounts and rings would be Weaver's. But that's my opinion.

Mine was picked up right here 4 years ago NIB for a very fair price. ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/801/035br.jpg) Put a Minox on her to start ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/169/p1010400kf.jpg) and started killin with it in short order ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/140/deerseason2010017.jpg) I have since switched to the 2.5x8

I doubt this one will get here in time for me to go to the LGS to pick it up before the operation Tuesday but, time will tell. I'm hopeful to be up and at it the day after but time will tell. I've got everything ready except a scope/rings choice so I'm on the way.
I believe it was BSA's rifle that had the Leupold DD's that turned me onto them. I'm not sure what I'll end up with but those are in the forefront of my mind right now.
Rev, it's plenty hot here as well and they're calling for 88-92 for the next week.

I really hate a stache. I look so much like Tom Sellek the gals pester me to death. I may chance it at any rate.
