What is BACO? Don't mean to sound stupid but I am not familiar with this term.

Bob Gordon and his Hepburn . Oregon , early 90's.

I have not shot a Hepburn but do shoot a rolling block. The roller has a LOT of drop built in - that is the height of the bore above the comb - and the Hepburn looks like it may have even more. I have to use a scope and even a 3/4" riser does not allow ME to get a good cheek weld at 300-400 yds. beyond that I would not even have my face in contact with the stock. I realize the scope is going to be higher than a tang sight but I do believe this issue is something one needs to consider. I also admire Hepburns, and still do, but have concluded they are not practical for me due to the drop issue.
I contacted Treebone about a high comb stock for the RB and was told the best they could do is provide a blank carved in the grip area and fitted to the tangs, leaving the rest as a block to be carved to fit my needs. I have not pursued the idea because as yet I have not been able to visualize how to make the thing with a high enough comb without it being UGLY. 

Like many of you, I at first thought the Hepburn was..ugly. But there IS something about the look of it that grows on you.  If this question has been asked I apologize..Has anyone had any experience with the cast actions being sold by Upper Missouri Trading Post? Also how often can one find an original action that doesnt require a second mortgage? Thanks
