Couple of questions about these rifles. Read they are regulated for Winchester 300 grain ammo, what type of performance can be expected? Wouldnt mind buying a 45-70 for the price but not looking for anemic performance. Anyone do any load developement with heavier bullets? Not interested in getting the 9,3 as I already own a Chapuis. Is the rear sight adjustable for windage? Any of you lefties ever shoulder one of these rifles? I realize they have a right hand cheek piece but am wondering how they would fit a left handed shooter. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | ||

Rich (Idaho Sharpshooter) checked one of these out for me at the Boise Cabelas. While I can't answer two of the three questions, Rich told me that the rear site was adjustable for windage by driftin it left or right in its dovetail. I suspect, but don't know for certain, that the answer to your first question is "yes" they can be loaded to regulate with heavier bullets. I plan to do exactly that.

Doc, when you call Frank, ask for the one with the darker grain, or I can run over again and take an in depth look at them both. Rich DRSS | |||
