Yup, I practiced with it last night until I understood how everything lined up. Got it down now. I took the rifle out to the range today -- it shot very well. Kicks about like a .30-06 or .308.
I'm considering putting some Mojo sights on it, since the real Swissdiopters (nice nick, by the way) are so expensive. The Mojos look like they will get the job done, and my eyesight is not really good enough to use the dovetail sight that is on it right now.
I've also got to decide what to do about the stock -- this one is too far gone to restore easily, due to the number of nicks and the amount of actual water damage on the buttstock. Metal on this rifle is almost pristine though.
Later,
