    I'm looking around for a 1.5 x 5 I have in a box somewhere among all my moving boxes. Likely take me a month to find it. Ugh.

    Browning welded the tang on these actions to create the BPCR model. That is why there is only one tang (on top). Real Winchesters of the era had top and bottom tangs and no through bolt.
    If I had a tang-less rifle and did not intend to shoot it in any match type event, I would just scope it too. Why not? A low powdered variable is a good way to go and enjoy the rifle.
    I think you have a good plan.
    Have fun.

    Picked up the Browning this evening, it’s a lot purdier in person than in the pics I posted. It was already dark by the time I got home, I’ll have to take some pics tomorrow.
