Quick update.
Got some leather to make a wrap for my loop. Just have to get some time to work with it. Using a glove for now.

As stated in a reply I made in another post.
Took it out for a short break in (only had time for 400 rds, boy it was getting hot towards the end) and I love it !
I couldn't utilize the low profile factory sights due to my eye sight challenges but got my rail and Eotech installed.
Hoping to go out this Friday for a more serious break in.
I had several ftf on the second round but feel it's me getting used to a lever action. It is smoothing out some with use.
I definitely have to modify the mag release and the magazine floor plate in order to make quicker mag exchanges.

That has some amazing wood. Beautiful gun. Looking forward to hearing more. We do need more posts on the Long Ranger.

I second that! That's some nice grain on that rifle.

Yes, it is an absolutely beautiful gun.
Fit and finish is excellent at the price point.
Although I haven't disassembled yet, every component I can see is well finished.
No burrs or machining chips found.
Can't say that about other firearms I've gotten.
The Eotech really screws up the clean look but I didn't buy it to be a safe queen.

223/556.
I'm considering purchasing the 7.62x51 version if this one works out well.
I just have a very large supply of 556 and no 7.62.

Classic Firearms has the best prices.
I bought local to support them but paid a premium for it.
Won't get the next one local though.
Normally I purchase through Impact Guns.
They will price match others most of the time.
