Default Z5 on a Budget

Couldn't help it... the Devil, Cayugad, and Lee made me do it.. and I am sure UC had a hand in it - that's what I told Terry anyway.

The rifle was just to cheap to pass up. But it is beginning to take shape, I took the BP up to my local machinist (that I trust) + 2 others and had him drill them out to fit the 25ACP, he called this afternoon and I went up and got the BP's - $9.00 no not each for all of them, the budget still looking good. Headed to my local SG store and picked up a Weaver Grand Slam scope base...$12- then back home.

Wrapped the BP in pink and installed it, installed the scope base found some cheap Leupold Rifleman rings, then started huntingfor a scope. Remember I amon a tight budget - I had a Japanese Kowa 4x, a Bushnell Trophy 3x9, and a Pentax 4x12 with a ballistic reticule. I want to order a Busnell 3200 for it - but I am sticking to the budget... so I put the Pentax on it(for now)stuck the bore sighter up the muzzle and now I am ready to go test it... Just do not no when...

I do have one minor problem - I suggested that I would part with one of my other ML's - so now I gotta sell the A&H to show Terry good faith... but that is alright I have a new gun...
