Re: FS: Rear Picatinny Red Dot Mount.
Just my two cents, but I think it should be a bit longer, out beyond the hand guard, with a band of some sort around the barrel jacket. This way not too much weight is put on the two sight screws and one could mount a scout scope.

Re: Cheek Pad for the 8
I like the non-permanent mods that can always be removed and the rifle returned to stock config if necessary. Great little addition! My dad once had the same pad on a Springfield M1A and liked it. Bet that's a comfortable shooter! I'll take her out this next week, whenever this Noah type flood lets...

Cheek Pad for the 8
https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/bandersnatch45/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20200312_1034332.jpg A little something I found to make scope use on the ole springpole more comfy.

Re: new model 81 owner, general ?'s
Howdy do! I'll see if I can take a crack at some of these: 1. Mag capacity for the 300 is 4. 5 is right out. 2. Pretty fair going rate for the 300's. The 25's tend to go for more. 3. Not sure what you mean by marble adjustable rear sight. Is it mounted to the barrel or the receiver? Pics would help....

Re: Thread pitch on M81 rear sight screws?
The reflex sight was me in 2014.

I have a drilled-and-tapped receiver already and the offset scope is the worst...

What is the Ken Waters load? Ken's pet load for .30 Rem is 32 grains of IMR3031 and a 150 grain Spitzer bullet. He didn't specify which Spitzer he used and I used a Hornady SST designed for 300 Savage in order to keep the round within overall length, 2.525". Remington factory literature of the day ...

I used 29.0 gr of IMR 3031 pushing 150 gr Hornady RN (#3035) around 2000 fps. I had already disassembled and thoroughly cleaned the rifle before shooting.
