    Lining or reboring 45-70 Hepburn

    Looking for recommendations as to who could do a top rate job at a reasonable price. Or other suggestions. I have a Hepburn with a hopeless bore. It is very well worn. I would like to get minute of white tail groups at 100yds. I do not think this tube will do it. Rifling is visible, but just so worn down. Otherwise, the gun is a real rat, wrench marks on barrel, split stock, on and on. I would prefer to re-line in to 45-70 at 1 in 18 twist. Anybody got any directions for this? Or other ideas? thanks all

    If I had your rifle I'd slug the bore and try shooting it first with both soft and hard bullets, it may surprise you and it certainly won't hurt to try. If you can't make it shoot minute of Whitetail then reline it.
