Nice eye-candy!  Looks like it will be a fun and functional handgun.  The 7-08 is a great cartridge.

And am I seeing that right? Fluted, but with Iron sights? For some reason I was thinking a custom fluted barrel wouldn't have sights, but I guess its not that hard to mount 'em. May I ask who did the barrel?

I've got the itch to build another project and I've never had a bottlenecked pistol ... hmm ... ;D ;D

Teamnelson,
It's a factory TC pro-hunter barrel. thats why it still has the front sight. I was thinking about taking it off, but, the flute on the top of the barrel stops short were the sight is mounted it just doesn't look right without the sight on it.

Very nice, should be a real shooter. Did notice something I have to ask you, why the 3 ring mount on the scope? That may be common ,IDK , just curious.
Still dreaming of that Boone and Crocket Pistol Kill!!!

It's just a more solid mount for handgun scopes and it looks cool
