How do you like that Leupold? Nice rig.

Excellent! I couldn't keep a straight face either if I was calling a rifle a forever rifle!

My buddy has a Seekins AR and its surprisingly accurate. Lots of respect for that company.

That's one sweet boom stick!!!!

very nice rig!

Thank you all!

Big fan of the Leupold. More importantly, I have a lot of faith in it. I had this on another rifle previously and have not been kind or gentle with it. Tracks perfectly I haven't been able to make it lose zero, damage it, etc. I can't really see any good reason for me to move to another scope or upgrade. For the purpose of hunting it is excellent, especially for the $900 or so I paid for it.

Haha yeah exactly! They make great stuff, the AR's they produce are brilliant. They make tons of actually innovative products in the AR space as well. If I wasn't neck deep in a V-Seven build I'd consider one.

I think I would leave it on the shelf just to look at instead of watching cable! Absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks! I plan on denting, dinging, scratch, scuffing, and generally all around abusing it

Ha! Bring it up on Sunday.

Thank you!



Thanks, yeah I hope so! Coming from a 60's, wood stock, boat anchor of a 30-06; it should be just a little better



Thank you! Yeah you know I would love to do that and I have been thinking about it for a while now. Maybe after my April hunt I will break it down and move forward with it. I just don't have time at the moment, and I don't think I'm decided on color. It's a toss up between matte black to match the action or tungsten for contrast against the action and to match the bipod. Leaning toward the matte black, but we'll see.

I know I'd personally do Tungsten...

Forever rifle? No such thing. Lol.

Yeah I think it would look nice! We shall see. I have some time to think about it.

Forever rifle? No such thing. Lol.

Haha oh I know! Hence the " ". It's a bit of pipe dream, but I'm going to try and make this work for everything. I can absolutely say that from a standpoint of features, technology, weight, and build quality there is very little I desire or need past what is now in my hands.

This is obviously a great combination to achieve your goal. But I'm really impressed with your pictures. They are really well done and accurately depict the quality of your project.

Excellent build.....a true inspiration. I am looking to outfit my Bergara Ridgeback Premier in 300 Win Mag.....What reticle do you have on the Leupold?? I really like the CDS System & hope to locate the VX5 3-15X44 with a Windplex. Your comments about how durable the Leupold's are give me a bit more confidence. Thanks so much for sharing. Congratulations.

Forever: for a limitless time, eternally, everlastingly, evermore, forevermore, indelibly, permanently, perpetually

OR: Until the next build
