Thanks for that Rob,
I will contact Geoff and find out if he is happy to cut the dovetails for me in the sleeve of my HW - once I have worked out how to remove it
The larger diameter of the sleeve should allow the dovetails to be cut to a larger width (such as that used on my Walther match rifles), and this in turn would allow me to use my existing raiser blocks and front sights etc.
Meanwhile, I think I will dust off my HW55T as I have not shot it at all this year and it must be in need of some exercise!
