This one is almost a finished gun...95% done.  At some point it will get checkered.  Haven't decided on sights, I do have a Favorite tang sight but not yet sure I want any sights.  I have decided it will get a scope, probably the one shown in the pictures.  Not the usual Stevens case colors but it's what I wanted.

As usual this post is picture heavy! Grin

The scope looks like it has a Litschert objective.

Don’t know about Litschert, it says Lyman Jr. on it.

She's all decked out with sights now.  Ended up making the front sight.  While regulating the front sight at 25 yards, it shot some pretty decent  groups for a fresh barrel with only 30 rounds through it and 18 degrees with 10 to 15 MPH winds from the NW.  Smiley

Finally got this one finished.  Just got the wood back from checkering, then got the checkering finished and wood mounted back on the gun.  I installed a 14 power Unertl scope, after these pictures, to go along with the tang sight.

I’ve actually shot this little rifle quite a bit.  For a cheap green mountain barrel it does really well.  I think if I actually work with it it would do much better.  It’s just a fun one to shoot!

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Not sure how I missed this latest build Bob, but glad I saw it this morning! That's going to be a sweetheart of a Favorite!
