Chet Brown was building ideal rain rifles in his San Jose CA.Garage in late 70s onward .they were NOT cheap then either, Kevlar was thru the roof as a stick material then .Any way A Metallifed or other industrial nickelchrome finish and a laid up fiber stock of proper dimensions with my favorite modified Remington 600 action in .308 of course as the ammo was free for this reservist. I fooled with many scope mounting systems until arriving at today's wonderful solution s to get to QUALITY set of back up irons . Ditto to scopes also, yes the Bushnell Elite Rain Guard is phenomenal. There are other recently released copies that should work as well, I have a new Leupold with this, I haven't tried it in field yet, but Leupold 100 percent guaranteed it. I use Warne QD mounts on their bases ( which are Pic spec) with 100 percent satisfaction for more than a decade . So there you have it: fiberglass and stainless finished rifle that fits on top of ponchos , which means a little shorter lop, high strenht return to zero scope mounting with well protected rain guard lens coating quality scope with known warranty, and a set of open adjustable sights that have been carefully sighted in at 50 and 100 yards. If you lose your chance with that combo it wasn't the tools fault.
