I have not actually had work done by Tip Burns and cannot even say where he is exactly but I know Rusty speaks highly of him as have others and he was very generous and accomodating to me when I made a purchase from him so I would suggest you make contact with Tip or Rusty and go that route.

Tip Burns is not in Hoiston, but I would have him do the work. He did the build on my 375H&H and I would do it again.  Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Tip does excellant work. And he is a decent fellow to do business with! He has worked on or built several rifles for members of his forum! Rusty We Band of Brothers!

Thanks for the input, guys. I am not planning anything so drastic as 45/120. I have read about the newer No 1 having a shorter throat than the old (I had a 45-70 back in the 70s and appreciated being able to load any bullet I want...including 500 gr Hornady) and did not want to be limited by the short throat). I don't have the rifle yet, and will need to do some trials before determining whether this exercise will be deemed worth it. I figured the local Houston contingent would have an informed opinion! thanks again, Tim 0351 USMC | |||

Wow, Tip has a 6-month backlog and is not taking in any new jobs. He must be good! 0351 USMC | |||
