was kind enough to send a replacement bullseye for my rifle. Thanks again, my friend.
This weekend I worked on the installation. I was nervous about getting started, mainly because I only refinished the stock a few years ago. I just hate tearing apart something that's already nice.
Someone in the past had attached a sling mount to the stock, putting wood screw through the bullseye. The original drilled hole was still intact, though damaged a good bit around the edges. Not surprisingly the new bullseye is made larger, intended to be shaved down to fit. I don't know how this is normally accomplished, but I chose to spin the part with a drill motor, using wood chisel to shave it down.
