Hi, I have a 34" John Bodine Rolling Block by Pedersoli in 45/90 (see my other post under Which 45-70). I am finding it a bit heavy at the front end which makes it less maneuverable. While it is fine at long range I am concerned that it might be less good at 200 - 600 yards for shooting Silhouettes.
I would be grateful for peoples views on the effects of reducing the barrel length by 2" and having a new dovetail machined in for the front sight.
I have seen two conflicting views on this matter some say it will reduce accuracy and some it will make no difference in a BPCR. (This all assumes I could find a gunsmith prepared to do the work)
