Custom scope mount

O.D. is my favorite Cerakote to do, And graphite black.

Every now and then I have problems with the O.D. not wanting to lay down smooth. It's probably just my guns settings.

Each color requires different paint strainer meshes, And gun settings.

It's a real bummer too.

What Wildcat Cartridge is in your avatar? I see it's based on 45-70.

38-56 Improved. Case is blown out, 40 degree shoulder, .375 cal. Chambered in a Marlin 1895.

I'm getting 2700fps with a 200gr, 2300 with 275gr mono's. I'm getting ready to work up a load with 255 Barnes Originals. Should be north of 2400fps.

That's cool, That's the kind of stuff I do and like. I like rimmed cartridges.

Superb work~!
I'd love to see one for the Win 1885s built for Winchester by Miroku. Tally has discontinued theirs.

I made a similar rib for my No.1 but I made mine to take Talley rings; this just because I like the look of them. If I do another, I'll extend it back over the receiver ring (as you did) so I can move the rear ring back a bit for a little more scope mounting latitude. WH

I've got a couple more scheduled that are going to be Talley dovetails.

Having the rib go over the receiver ring is a huge help on the No. 1's.

Yes, it is. My rib limits my scope choices. In fact, most modern scopes, with shorter tubes, just won't work. Mine currently wears an old Bushnell Scope Chief for that reason. It's OK; I like the old scope anyway! WH

The Leupold IER scopes do really well if you don't need a lot of magnification.
