Wow, you wrote you didn't want to carve into the stock of your low # rifle. The fella writes and suggests an alternative way to mount the sight so as to save the value of your rifle. Then you write and say he called you and others idiot, which he didn't. Then your pardner tells the fella to let it go, and insinuates he isn't being helpful. Finally, you write and say you would rather carve into your stock. Whew!
