All you've done is wet my appetite for that magnum FN 98 to become a 460 S&W.

Yeah, we never did get that range report. What did you have the gunsmith do to it?

I'm still looking forward to the range report and a pig report.

Well, it's home. First, the gunsmith I've used stays extremely business with some really fine firearms. He is the only smith I trust to make a custom scout mount. My agreement was that "whenever you get to it will work for me". In return, I get something that is perfect for very little spent.

So here it is and it will soon hit the brush out back.
