I know someone who did the same, bought many years ago when they were dirt cheap then sold it, and has regretted it since. I have a variable Leupold for this one 2.5-7 just never ordered the Lovell mount. I may be keeping this as there are interested parties in my Ruger. I also have a D-Max .454, from what I understand it is the company that Magnum Research bought to make the BFR.
