So I finally got busy and made some chips on the scope ring project. I got them roughed out to the point where I could mount the scope on the rifle and make sure that they were high enough for the 50mm objective to clear the barrel and that they actually fit the rifle. The CAD model and detail drawings were made on Onshape, and it worked pretty well. It doesn't have as many features as SolidWorks yet, but it's a good solid program. I even took some video, so I'll probably throw something together to post on YouTube if it turns out ok. The next task is to mill the contours so they actually look like scope mounts and then anodize them black.
