[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 109415, member: 10"] Well, I was hoping to get the IOR 9-36 mounted up and go slap the hell out of that gong from Uncle B a few times this weekend but the rings that came with the IOR were high rings and they set the scope up far to high for my liking. Called Val at IOR and he said as long as the rings were not torqued down on a rail base he would exchange them for a set of lower rings. The high rings would have worked but I figured why cut any corners and packed them up and shipped them down for replacement. I also got to thinking about finishing the rifle, that being pulling the barrel and bead blasting everything to get it ready to send down to Shawn C for teflon coating. Figured since I would be waiting for rings I may as well get this done as well. Luckily the 40" barrel JUST fit in my blast cabinet. By the time I was finished blasting it my left had was more then a bit tired from supporting its weight but its finished and Monday it will ship off to Shawn, probably overnight shipping. So for the time being, the 338 AM is out of commission but the next time I post about the rifle I should have pics of her in her finished state, Black from recoil pad to muzzle, with Black Sunshine diamond scribed on the barrel. More to come on a week or to I hope. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
