I've always hated it when you've got to buy a rifle stirpped not only of scope, rings, but bases. I'm talking gun show here, but that's the usual way. Sure, I understand buying separate items at the gun shop when new, but holy fugg.

All my iron is scoped, rings lapped, bases bedded, and if I ever sell them it's going to be unitized. I'll even have a recent sample target so people know they're getting a shooter.


Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
