Thanks guys - the 4x scope is a post style reticle, so no turning that one.  The 2.5, however, is a duplex, so I can turn that one.

The offset will take some getting used to, bit I liked the idea of no modification to the gun to use it.  I'm excited to get this one to the range.  I probably will try and find a cheek rest solution, since the scope ends up pretty high because of these rings.  They have standard rings, but I think it would only get me 1/4" drop - which isn't that much. 

Yes, the irons, in the flat position, still work, which is a GREAT side benefit of this mount style.

I got the barrel band screw (originally it had a stacking swivel screw in the barrel band) today, but I'm waiting a couple days for the 1898 follower to see if I can address a feed issue.

With all the covid fears now, it looks like I might have a LOT of time to test her in the upcoming weeks.
