I used Mark for all of our tooling at my last job in Austin. I didn’t realize he did gunwork? Is he just a good machinist or is he an actual gunsmith?

Hi All,
I’m looking at putting a scope on a 40-65 rifle but not really sure which one would be best. I would need it to be BPCR legal, which is really the only “must have”. My use would be to use...

Thanks everyone for the feedback! After reading everything I think I’m going to go with the 40-65. seems to have a pretty good backing and is different enough from the 45-70 recoil wise that there...
