Very nice rifle. Thank you for posting. First time I have ever seen a Lightfoot mount. Curious as to if the rifle is drilled and tapped in addition to the tang screws and sight dovetail connection. Assuming that mount would work fine with tang and dovetail only.

Pretty sure it's not drilled and tapped. I use the factory Leupold 1 piece mount to make up the mount so it attaches like a Stith.
Thanks LBK!
That is a very impressive G.
Well done Amigo!
NICEEEE!! that going to Anticosta this fall? with a scope shoud work fine.
Yes Sir, that's a fine looking rifle right there! Good for both of you for keeping it in "the Family". I would be more surprised if it DIDN'T show up in this years Anticosti pictures!!
First off the rifle is NOT drilled and tapped. And Mike, this is the first time I have ever seen one of your mounts. The workmanship is second to none. I don't know what you charge, and I have never inquired, but whatever it is it's worth every penny. Thanks all for the kind words.

The gun came with a scope. A Bushnell Legend. 5-15X. WAY more scope than I'll ever need. The seller has been so trusting, I took it off and boxed it up. I'm sending it back to him. It's "Texas" scope, not a New Hampshire one.

Mike, that is the first of three that I have bought from you.
That is a very nice G rifle in a good caliber. Those are hard to find that nice. Gotta be happy. Mike
VERY NICE little green with envy here.

The base should be very sturdy.

You have always told me that you were just a so'so machinist. Most likely I would never have bought a Lightfoot mount only because between originals and the Stiths that I replicate I have more than I'll probably ever use. However I want to say that the workmanship on this one is as good as one will ever see. Your mount is much easier to use than a Stith and provides much more versatility.
Coming from someone with your skill set, that is an over the top compliment - thanks!
For an over the top person.
Very nice looking mount, does any one know the cost? Also what are the two extra holes for on the horizontal base on the mount?
The holes are drilled there by Leupold. The main body of the mount is a 1 piece Leupold factory made mount.
It's $170 shipped until my costs go up again.
