Calling the third rifle sporterized would be very charitable... I think Bubbaized would be a much better term.

The two drilled and tapped holes for the Lyman Receiver sight, I can tolerate. In fact, having a receiver sight installed on a rifle, with a scope mounted as a primary sighting device, can be a hunt saver if you damage your scope.

Chuck:
Thanks for the tip. I checked the stock recoil bolts with a magnifying glass, and, they are staked... So, it looks like I will have to get three or four sets.
