found a LH MRC 404J

[sgt_zim]

It's factory all the way.

got about 99% of that idiotic Bubba paint job off.

That looks significantly better!

Looking at bases rings, I ran across these.

Aluminum bases/rings don't seem like a very good choice for a 404J.

Why not go with QD mounts since you’ve got open sights?

just put it on the scale: 8.2 lbs

With a scope you’ll be around 9 lbs or so. Pretty light. My 404 is a bit over 10 lbs and the recoil is attention getting.

I put 6 rounds through it weekend before last. Yeah, definitely attention getting, even at only 2150.

And that's at 8.2# and a LOP 2.25" too short

If you get the LOP to fit you, the recoil will be much more comfortable.

@375 Ruger Fan sent me to microfit. We'll see what they can do. I imagine a 16" LOP laminate will add a bit of weight as well.
