First .. the rifle


with
built-like-a-russian-tractor scope mount
Wood grain only appears in pictures.. in person, its more like streaks in the stain!!

I was geting tired near the end here, but you can see the "final" adjustments for today --about Parallel with barrels... the Vertical seperation is largely ME not holding perfectly flat..

EVEN 40 round of 45/70, while seated (gun NOT touching anything but me) will wear a person down

I was making sight adjustments form pair 3, 4, and 5..



all 10 shots within about 6 minutes

looks pretty good to me.....

Jim,
i ordered 2 of those scope mounts, ifin you want one

Good enough for government work, Jeff! When will you take it on its maiden voyage and erradicate some hogs??

dunno yet.. sometime before it gets HOT here!

Great groups there El Jeffe...

Knock two in them before they hit the ground.

That's not a bad looking set up just might have to give one of these a try. Who'll be the first to drill it out to 45-3 1/4

not me... wow... who would have thought that?

there just aint enough there, weight or diameter, for me to do it...

now, i AM building a 45/120 double from a huglu, but that's probably an all year project
