	Great looking rifle!

	Nice rifle. That looks like a Buffalo shell and bullet. Any out there?

	Schuetzenmiester: No buffalo out there, if that's what you mean. There are a few rocks around 850 yards that make good imaginary buffalo, though! That is a Paul Jones 45001 bullet in Starline brass. I wish I had a few more of his moulds.

	Too bad there aren't any buffalo Paul's molds were as good as molds get, for sure.

	The PJ 45001 Creedmoor with 68gr of 1.5Fg is one of the top most accurate long range bullet in all of my 45-70 rifles If one doesn't cast, Sagebrush has them ... (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); Riflecountry - yours is a rifle to be proud of - Great Job

	Riflecountry, very nice job on the casting! You could share more pictures with us and Rodney really appreciates seeing what his castings have turned into! Thanks Greg

	I machined my own front sight..... If I recall correctly, I just bought the bubble, and used Shavers sight inserts. I also have a 40-82 I will post up pictures of....I have used it for BPCR Silhouette, but this 45-90 I have just used for fun and long range rock busting so far. Might have to take it to a match.

	The most fun you can have is 1,000 yard LR match. One of my favorite trophies is my Ottawa Arms Collectors 1,000 yard Bullseye Patch That setup should be perfect.

	I just build them for myself at this point. I have thought about doing it for a semi-retirement, but I am not sure what all the legal requirements would be.

	Great looking rifle - very nice work on both metal & wood. Did that DST trigger group & Helm lever come with the kit? If not, what did you use? Also, being in CO, you should shoot with these guys (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links).

	Your two High Walls should be about perfect for BPTR shooting (both mid-range & long-range). Robert Gariboy, who was the 'prime mover' in starting the BPTRA when the NRA dropped BPTR two years ago (imagine that....... dropping the shooting discipline that started organized rifle shooting in the USA for the NRA - no more Creedmoor matches) will get you lined-up with a spotter if you don't have someone to shoot with. A spotter is a critical part of shooting at longer distances. You and your spotter are a 'team'.
