Filling Bubba Holes

That certainly turned out well. I think that this is really the best way to deal with this sort of situation. Rifle looks really good.

I agree, it is the right way to deal with drilled holes in a receiver. First Jason threaded in set screws to fill the holes, then he welded over the holes and made it smooth...took him a long time to get it how he wanted it. I doubt anyone could have done a better job. It is so smooth and perfectly profiled, you can't feel or see anything other than the slight difference in the bluing. He reblued the whole action it appears. Colour is the perfect blue/black and matches the bolt exactly which stayed with me.
Since it was such a nice rifle to start with it was worth dropping the $ into it...I still have a reasonable amount in the rifle since I've had it since they were $200 rifles.
