Waffles need syrup...
What scope are you going to use on your “Waffle Gun”?

I went another way. See “Project 99” in the Gunsmithing Forum. Using a vintage Bushnell Scopechief.

The Scope Chief’s “Command Post” reticle looks pretty cool. How would you estimate range with that reticle? I am not familiar with that reticle.

Nice work on that Savage, by the way.

Thanks.

Below is a picture of a "command post" reticle. The scope has fine crosshairs and selector ring on the scope that allows you to turn and select the thicker "post" that is seen in the picture. I really like it for hunting. I am aware that there is a mathematical formula that allows one to use the known height of the reticle to estimate the range to target but it will be a fixed 4x, so anything that looks right in the scope will be within .308 MPBR thereby negating the need for me to do complex math...
