well my goodies showed up from Midway USA yesterday and I set work. The factory butt pad was replaced by a Simms Limbsaver pre-fit. It is close but not a perfect fit. Installed 1 piece Leupold scope base and medium high rings to hold up the new 2.8-10 X 44 Simmons Aetec scope. I know that is a bit overkill but the eyes are getting worse all the time, so the extra light and mag will be necessary in the near future. I also installed a Vero Velleni neoprene sling, very nice slings if you have not seen them. The full neoprene underside keeps it on your shoulder and the 3" plus width spreads the load nicely. I tried to upload a pic but kept getting cannot display page?? It looks and feels real nice and will be in the car on the way to the gravel pits tomorrow for a round of shooting. Need to zero this one, the 336CS 35 Rem and 2 CVA inline ML with the 777 pellets (gonna give them a try) I may not be typing much on Sunday.................We will see???
