Scope Mounting
I planned on making this a multiple post feature, but it didn't work out that way. New computer and I took a lot of pictures that were formated. This is what remains.
Here is the picture of the rifle in the rough. It is a bull barrel bolt, chambered in .308. This is, apparently, what Scout-snipers carried in the Vietnam war. I will attest that the barrel makes it inconvenient to shoot off-hand or even from a braced position. It is so fucking heavy, I don't think one could shoot it from anything but a rested position.
The barrel is like nothing I've ever seen. It is huge, unwieldy and demands a rest.
Originally, the point of this series was to show people that you don't have to waste the money to 
take your rifle and scope to a gunsmith. Depending on who your gunsmith is, you will probably do a better job.

Pictured are alignment rings. These allow you to verify that your rings are matched to the diameter of the scope. I hoped to picture lapping tools and a piece by piece progression of the mount and rings.
Final pictures and range report will follow.
