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.
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.
The Leupold IER scopes do really well if you don't need a lot of magnification.
I modified a EGW Winchester model 70 Picatinny rail to mount on my mint 74 Ruger 3 in .22 Hornet. Cut off the front and milled off a little on the rear to clear receiver. Tried No1 V mounts and they fit but not good enough for me and didn’t want Ruger rings. I preferred the older style Weaver blue rings and good clear vintage Weaver K10. Zero issues with the mount or eye relief with the older long scopes. I tried a current Leupold 4.5-14 AO and it would work also but prefer the older style Weaver K10 on this rifle. Not expensive and easy to do.

Thanks man. I'll take a CNC for my prize
