Have not heard of Creedmore. Not sure what you are considering ---- buying an 03 from them, or buying the scope from them?

In any case, I see the scope currently advertised on Amazon for $429, with mounts. I assume that it's current manufacture, made in China. Difficult to believe that you will get a quality scope & mounts for that price. I'd hate to get $1,000 into a project, only to find that the reticle rattles around in the tube, or the mounts are soft steel. I'd want to hear from someone who has already completed the project (& fired at least a few hundred rounds).

Talking to Chuck at Warpath sounds like a good idea. I wonder where you are going to get the correct handguard, or if you are going to have to make your own?
