Sounds nice indeed. Haven't heard of a .45-60, but Winchester made some weird things. Perhaps you meant .45-70 however. What are these going for today? I'm thinking with the original sight, it might have cost you a fair bit.

If the bore is too rough, reline it and have a perfect bore in an original barrel. I did this with a very worn, pitted, ugly .38-55. Works wonderfully now.

Good luck,
Brent
