Harvey is retired and his son in law is now doing it
he is in Calgary and is one smart puppy.I believe
I have his contact info at home and will bring it to
work and post it tomorrow.I did talk to Harvey though
Badger and that is how I found about Phil.Regards
Redhorse.

Now that would be magnificent!

Getting the rings to 27mm shouldnt be a big problem, just another hurdle.

I REALLY apreciate all the contact info im getting here.

Big Thanks!

Something a wee bit on the strange side, I have a Prototype Springfield model 1903, N.M Double circle P w/G&H lever mount and a Zeiss scope very similar to the one you've shown. When I took it to Griffin and Howe one of the old timers there remembered putting a couple of those together for the U.S.M.C.. The fellow we bought it from got it from the Unserviceable rack in Ft Benning. He was really ****ed off because he really wanted one of the new U.S.M.C rifles with the Lyman scopes! Being a Lt. Col, he figured he should have one. I'm glad he didn't get it, but, the terms of the sale are that we never separate the scope from the gun, hum, I can live with that and have for over 20 years-SDH

I just realized that these rings are 26.5mm, and my scope is 27mm.....

Why don't you just return it and get the right size that you need, as he makes both sizes?

If the machining doesn't go so well, or if it's not aligned, basically you're out $500 and have a hunk of scrap metal.

Personally, I would look for another scope with a 26.5 Diameter Tube.
Good Machinists are anything but cheap these days.
You may have saved $100 but how much more will you have to spend?

The maschinist I know is a good friend, so his services will be free. German scopes arent cheap, nor always easily available.

@Redhorse

Does this mean you have the rifle for it to go on already?
