That’s what this is. A pristine bore NY roller I bought to turn into a project and ended up
Just too nice. What’s your load ?

My 50-70 is a former 43 Spanish rebuilt by Dave Higginbotham. Does very well for me, this one was taken at 225yds.425gr lead bullet over 70grs of Swiss. The guide told me "hold center", he thought I was zeroed for 100yds. I was zeroed for 200ys and the bullet hit the spine. The animal tipped over like a paper cup literally flying one its side. I shot two others but both were good lung shots, they both walked around in a half-circle and then dropped as their lungs collapsed. All three bullets were recovered. The one was in the spine and the other two just under the skin on the far side of the animal.
