We are all fine up here in the north country. There is fresh snow on the mountains above the house today, so that is a sign of things to come.
Nice looking rifle you have there. I like the mauser style actions as well. To that end I have a stainless left hand MRC extreme ascent coming from Prophet River in the next few days. They are listed at 5 pounds 10 oz but I have heard they can be as much as a pound heavier. That would be OK with me because I like a bit more heft as well.
I will look into those Leupolds. I've always had good luck with that company in the past.
Hope you get a chance to do some walking in the hills with that rifle this fall.
