KevRe: Lever actions in Africa
HI,
PC, scout scope set-up,Talley quick release rings,2.5 Lep, I have ghost rings so when scope is off I have them. My barrel is 1:26 Badger, I would go with a 1:22 twist though,I think both have alot of work to be done, but less for the 50AK, I would go with 50-110, as if you want to load up you will get 300+ fps more with same bullet weight as the 50AK.Talk to DAVE CLAY,I have not used Hawk bullets I use HC 525 alot and have work on some woodieghs,had to flat out tops sp would be okay in tube,Kev

PCKev,
would be great if I go ahead to get Dave Clay to do the work but being in Australia it would be a Royal pain to organise that !!
So your base is integral !! Thats impressive !!
I remeber when I first tried to get a .585 Nyati Barrel I could not get any response at all from Badger...but I have heard good things about there barrels.
So your of the opinion if I go ahead with this thing to get the 50-110....at least I have the action !!
I will take note that the 1-22 is the twist to go for.
Also is the type of base in your barrel a Piccatinny rail style ??

KevHI,
PC, if you look you can see how the mount ismade right into barrel and the rings just tighten up into mount,Kev
