I was lucky enough to hunt this one down. I’ve been looking for awhile and finally the stars aligned. Thanks to Hercules and Dave R for answering a ton of questions. And thanks to Dave G for selling me the nice Ajack scope. I think it’s a really nice match for the rifle.

HT K block

Nate , My HT K block is proofed the same as yours, before the serial number. Must have been a new guy on the assembly line.

Very cool gun, and especially like it that the scope on your rifle is serialized quite close to the rifle itself!

The rifle was listed on here and gunboards for information. The owner tried selling it on gunbroker, but it did not meet reserve. I just kept in contact with the guy and eventually I was able to purchase the rifle for less that the auction reserve.

Congrats Nathan. Well worth the wait. I like it being late K block with the numbered barrel and receiver. Neat to see the e/135 placement.

I'll add this to our Turret thread in the Optics Section when I get it finished. Thanks for sharing pictures.
