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.
