Don't let ASIO see that LOL... they'll be asking if you didn't just return from the Ukraine, or whether that thing loads a surface-to-air missile...

Nice job for a handmade scope, love the "gentle persuader" hanging on the hook too !

Some great scope designs just can't be purchased and are actually better hand made by yourself.

Top job.

I'll bet it is fantastic and very rewarding to look through.
