It was done before I went to Africa the second time�..wouldnt do anything different. Quarter ribs don't make any sense unless they are integral to the barrel, and you are going to use your irons. Kinda like this one. 7x57, of course� "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe

They are sighted with 175 grain loads. If the scope craps out, Im GTG�never had to use them. A quarter rib, integral, adds about $600+ to the price of a barrel. You'd better use your sights!!!

But that's the entire point, isn't it? To use them if the scope poops out. And $600 is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the trip. Anyway I like the setup. You'll have fun using it on one of our Sunshine State porkers, scope or iron.

Sort of like, "I can't believe I actually hit something!" And no offense; it's my look as well.
