Badger Ordinance.

S&B PMII 5-20x50 Ultra Short. VERY limited mounting real estate. I had to swap from Seekins rings to the Badger Ordinance rings to mount it.
This was on a Lone Peak Fuzion Ti SA that has an additional slot front and rear for mounting.
When I moved the scope to a new build and it is on a Defiance AnTi X, that action has one less slot front and rear available, and the Seekins were just a bit too wide to fit the mounting area available on the S&B. So I had to switch to the Badger Ordinance rings.

I thought you'd like her. LOL
I may just take you up on the offer. I'd hate to attack it myself.

LOP is 13.5". Even though I prefer a slightly shorter LOP, I think it would devalue a really nice rifle.
Only if you are planning on selling it and then maybe. And, what is the point of a custom rifle if not built for YOU.

Would you like to borrow my 6" angle grinder with the coarse wheel?
If you are worried about the resale value, then leave it as-is.

A 1/4"-1/2" would probably make enough of a difference and you could have a spacer made for resale purposes. That might even make it worth more...adjustable LOP.
I was curious about 1 thing though....who cut the bolt handle notch in the stock?

Everything goes at some point down the road. The end of the road looks closer every New Year.

The rifle is a LPR , built by Dallas Lane. I'm not sure who actually cuts that notch. It is a McMillan stock.

It was cut by McMillan for the heavy wider defiance handle
More nice builds!! 6.5 SS must be a favorite if you've got 2. I do like my LPA Fuzions for the amount of available mounting space as compared to my GA Hunter.

I currently have two 6.5SSs. I had two others previously. But yes, I love the 6.5SS. Probably my favorite cartridge I own.
