I fit the steel bases I got in yesterday.

I also glass bedded the bases, so the scope tube is not stressed in any way. Hand fitting the bases was a pretty simple operation. Took about an hour, but would have been so much quicker if I had a mill!! Going to these mounts, the rifle lost 1.4 oz's, but the main thing is they are a stronger and more sleek looking. I didn't really want to waste my time, hand fitting $5 aluminum bases, so I opted for the Warne's. Rifle weighs in around 8 1/4 pounds. Not a super lightweight, but feels good and trim in the hands. I'd hunt it:

I may end up with another mauser on the 13th, but we will see..
