The engraver finished the engraving and is sending it out to be blued. Will post more pics once it's on the 99K.

Very cool!

Very cool. Can't wait to see it when it's completed.

I too will be looking for this update. What scope are you going to use on this K?

Really nice David.

Joe

Very nice, what engraver did you use?

Well done.

Damn cool!

Big plus 1 here David!

Thanks David! Is there any engraving on the top of the Leupold portion of the mount? In retrospect I'm kicking myself for not plugging the unused holes in the Leupold section.

David, you get two thumbs up on that project.

You could always tap the holes and fit plug screws.

Awesome!

Wow............

Whoa nelly!! That's really cool!

That looks very good David. Really dresses up the mount.

Bill Blair did the engraving. I found him on the engraver's guild website. He's here in Wyoming.
I'll probably use some kind of modern Leupold when I hunt with it but I'll photograph it for the book with a vinatage 7/8" scope that I have Redfield rings for.
I'll plug the original holes.

I want one, or two, or..............
thats awesome, can't wait to see it blued.

Will you be hunting it in Oct. on our Muley hunt?

If it's not inappropriate, can I ask about how much that sort of engraving would run a guy? Just a ballpark is fine.

If it's accurate enough I'll take it on the muley hunt. I haven't shot the rifle before this so don't know how accurate it is.
The engraving is costing me a copy of the engraved book. I also sent him a copy of the collector's guide.

Great idea!
Beautiful engraving. It will be stunning on a K.......

I hope it's a shooter. I'd really like to put eyeballs on it at the Flying V.

I can bring it even if it isn't a shooter and hunt with my old reliable EG 308.

This is just about a perfect way to do business, everybody wins!

Very nice David, Thanks for sharing the process with us.

Ordered some engraved Millet scope rings for it.
