Lugging that big ol heavy Octagon barrel 4570 from the reloading room to the range got me to thinking <that is kinda scary>.
I have this Remington Roller smokeless action clogging up good space.
Ok, I find a nice 45-70 barrel and turn it down (leaving a place for a scope block) to some reasonable diameter at the muzzle so I can mount a nice hooded sight of some kind.
I ain't looking for a high dollar fancified long range gun, just a good shooter with 26-28 inch round barrel that will send that cast boolit into the black (or just in that little spot behind the shoulder).
If it is good enough to plink at something 300-500 yards away that is all well and good.
Ideas being solicited and gladly accepted, barrel, twist and anything else needed to make it a reality.
