The Brophy book is the bible. It is more money and requires some serious time to study. I am sorry to admit, I tend to forget all the details and have to go back to that. I like Canfield because it is an easier read. That is on me.

I have a fake/clone marine snipe with scope D&T as he mentioned. Also the proud owner of an A4 fake/clone sniper. I should not say "proud owner", but; I understand how these things happened. In fact, I think many an 03 has been bubba modified to the point where this is an act of kindness to bring it back to something a person could afford today. The real snipers are expensive and many of those dont stand up to an expert examination. An easy newbie burn.

Good news from the OP. I think he has a good rifle. Plug the stock screw holes and enjoy!
