Finally got the rifle back from cerakote and just waiting on the install of the irons. I went with a thin contour barrel so we are riding the ragged edge on having enough barrel thickness to drill for the screw holes on the front sight. The smith left the decision in my hands after explaining the risks. I am set on having sights so we are throwing caution to the wind and going for it. I guess if we have a major issue I may end up with a 19" .400
Hoping it will be 100% done next week so I can start shooting it. Would like to at least shoot a doe or two with it this season.
