At 100yds over the hood of my truck on top of my jacket. Once I dialed in my scope group of three within a quarter. That works for me.

Looking good. It should be a shooter.

I really like Rick Lowes leather items.. I have the same riser on my 45-70 and I love it.

Most of the leather products sold by Brass Stacker are by Rick Lowe.

Mark dealt me his Buckmasters 3-9X40 (BDC) and I used the Henry/Talley integrated rail/ring set-up. Plenty of clearance, so no need to remove the read sight, but the flipside is that getting a good cheek-weld was going to be impossible.

So, based on a Tad's recommendation, I bit on the riser/butt-wrap/shell holder from Rick Lowe Custom Leather. Hit it with about 4 applications of Bick's No. 4 soften the leather and laces up, and it turned out improving the color of it, too. Hated to cover up what is some pretty woodgrain, but need to see through the scope, so you gotta do what you gotta do!

Range trip is next!

I've you tried it out yet. I have same rifle, Warne Rings Pic. rail center line of scope tub to top of receiver 1 1/4". Curious

OK, seems top of comb is right at my jaw. Been knocking down coyotes. SS really teaches you discipline.
