Looks fantastic.

Does it? I can't really tell, cause (no offense to the OP) those pictures are terrible quality...

Seem to show up good on my PC. Looks good, looks like lots of chatoyance there. A coat of wax will really make her pop once it’s ready.

Yep, photos are fine on my device

Looks worse than OPs original.

Great restoration and great photos.

Did you use a die to darken it at all? Seems a fair bit darker than the original orange shaded finish

Looks like the finishing might have turned the scope from a classic to something very run-of-the-mill. lol Why the change?

The finishing looks good, the whole rifle does...nice work! I have an industrial/production finishing booth about 75' from where I'm typing this reply...and was marveling at how clean your spray booth looks. Then I noticed the shiny, white tiles. You have a more understanding wife than I do.

Nice job

Thanks! Fortunately for me, it is not for sale. But if I were to sell something on the equipment exchange I would sell it for a drastically higher price than what I paid because I think that's how the EE works.

Well yeah, time is worth $200/hr MINIMUM on the EE... Lol
