On this target, I shot 2 #314299 bullets from my 303 british at 100 yards to confirm my point of aim, then started shooting a few 420 grain 45-70 bullets into the target to confirm its point of aim. After shooting 2 bullets nearly in the same hole, I Decided to shoot 2 more. and Yes, there was 4- 45caliber bullets that passed through that group. This rifle is really starting to show me what it is capable of! This rifle is a 1885 BPCR Browning. I removed the rear tang vernier sight, and had a 35MOA rail installed onto the action. This way there is no altering the original value of the rifle.


My eyesight just won't allow me to shoot peep sights to the potential of this rifle! So, until I can get a "period" accurate scope system, I will shoot this setup. It really mixes old world and modern world concepts! LOL! A little odd to be sure, LOL! Although I cannot argue with the results so far.

I like it.
if the stock allows a good cheek weld you should continue to have good accuracy.
I could see myself shooting some rock chucks and such with a set-up like that.
