oldelkhunter,Talked to my gun dealer told him about what his son-in-law said about the price .Ask would he take $300.00.He looked for the invoice.Could not find it so he told me he would split the difference so I got it for $325.00.Got a one piece Leupold base.I had some rings laying around so that saved a little .(no use buying if you already have them).Not sure what kind ,But they are pretty nice Gloss blue and the torx screws thread in from the bottom of the ring so you don't see a screw head looking down on the rings .Brownie should look pretty good with this rig on it.Can't wait to shoot it.Thanks for you input and your time...........SWAMP
