BPTR Rifle Suggestions

[Gunlaker]

I'll definitely make sure I fit it into the schedule :-). I'm still not even home yet. Yesterday I pulled into the Shiloh shop and ordered the rifle. It was so windy on the I-90 that I was only going 55 and getting 10 mpg average!

The new rifle is probably going to be another .45-90, but it depends on whether Kirk can get the weight up to 13 lbs or so. If that won't work then it'll be a .45-70 and I'll use it for midrange and silhouette. I'm not a fan of guns that are too light for long range. The recoil eventually wears me down and I start pulling shots. But if we can get it to 13 lbs it'll be perfect.

As it stands its an 1877 with a 1:16 twist 32" round barrel. Extra fancy wood, checkering, round ebony tip, set up for scope blocks but also with a windgage front sight. It's going to be a looker for sure, and I'm sure it'll shoot like a laser beam.
