I dragged my Borchardt out of the safe and fitted the new ( original ) rear sight to it, I have had the sight for about 10 years, you can't go rushing into these things, after giving it a good clean it is in pretty good condition the rifling is excellent the action is tight, the wood is a bit crappy looking and most of the blue left home years ago, my guess is it was carried more than it was shot.
The local rifle club has started a 45/70 fun shoot once a month at 200 yards, I'm looking for a suitable load for the event, I don't want to test the strength of the action or my shoulder. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
