Very nice. My head doesn't swivel in the vertical plane much so I adjusted the picture's attitude, hope you don't mind. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/52513.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/52514.jpg) Whoever built that has a nice eye. I like it.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

And it would make a terrific open sighted lead bullet rifle...buckets of fun.

It's a great short range elk rifle for sure! When I noticed the two bulls 50 yards behind me I had the rifle leaning against the tree I was huddled behind. I grabbed it, flipped the safety off, threw it to my shoulder and didn't have to hunt for the brass bead as it was already in the V notch. I placed the bead behind the shoulder of the biggest bull. The first shot was right where I placed the bead, double lung and a fatal one, he turned and headed towards me and by the time he was at 40 yards he had two more 270 grain Woodleighs in his chest. Shortly after the third he flipped over backwards and was done. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/55507.jpeg)

Nicely done and sounds like it pointed just like a proper fitting shotgun! Nice bull, btw.
