Weagle,
well done. i'm always wanting longer tubes for less muzzle blast and more velocity. your changing the stock proportions improved things immensely. well done. and the crown job looked very well done too. did you really need the brass screw and valve grinding compound? the paint job looks great. LOP might be a challenge. or would be for me i think. if you can use it well, great.
by the way, if you're not shooting big game over 250 yards or so, the Leupold FXII 4x33 weighs only 9 oz i think. i just went to look and see that Leupold is no longer cataloging them. but there may still be some in the pipeline. they help keep things very light. the optics are great, clear, bright and the dials repeatable. and on a small rifle that FXII 4x33 proportion is just right. just a thought.
how well does that bottom metal feed? does it scratch up the brass a lot?
well done.
