While I don't think it's your best effort, that is an excellent HH.

FYI all current model carbon fibre tube RCOS scopes have matt black intertor coated OTA's...which is a moot point on the truss models...but obviously there are differences in +10 year old OTA design to the current iterations.

My 18 month old RC14.25 has vaslty superior machining/baffling and construction to the first model I purchased, and is easily on a par with the likes of Taka/AP.
