Hey M700,I am getting a 2-7 Leather Wood for my 1895SBL,I should be getting the SBL about Jan.10th ,a new one from Remington as my first one had a bad barrel. I think I will put on the weaver quick release steel rings on it,will have to wait to get gun in hand to see which ones work.Love my 700's and really like this SBL. I was raised in Washington ,western side ,but loved hunting on the eastern side,mainly Oak Creek Game Range back in the early 60's,took a nice Cow Elk out of there in 1963,loved hunting with my Dad and Uncle,they are both gone now,many memories of campfire talk and that made a young kids imagination run wild:biggrin: ,I live here in Wisconsin now,also lived in Montana "eastern part" for 26 years the hunting here has no comparison to there. Thanks for the article as now I am at ease with myself over the LeatherWood. Pete
