Yep, that scope objective barely has enough room for the Butler Creek lens covers. I may have to sand the bottom of the Butler Creek to clear the barrel, I've done that before.
For sure, Hogue isn't super cool, but for the cost, pretty decent handle.
I was wondering what it weighed all up, put it on the scales: 7# 9 oz, which isn't bad. It feel solid, holds steady. My newly tweaked Jard is very nice. I'm wondering why I didn't take time back in the day, to adjust it. Those triggers have gotten expensive since I bought mine, around 2 bills from what I'm seeing. I sure didn't pay that. Someone wrote that the newer Jards were made cheap. I don't know. This one is around 10 yrs. old, is well designed and nicely crafted.
I had shot this gun in the other stock, the Volquartsen barrel is very accurate. I put Volquartsen in the top tier of aftermarket 10-22 barrels.
