Re: REM/Baikal 45-70, I took the Plunge

Today I shot 30 rounds through the Rem/Bakial. It took some time to find the sweet spot but I did locate it. I learned that my gun perfers the 405 grain JSP over the 300 grain variety of any type. At twent five yards the barrels shoot to the point of aim and six shots measure 2 3/4 inches center to center. The 300 grain rounds seem to be consistent 3 to 4 inches apart but elevation is fine. I plan on doing some more work with the 300 grain rounds. After I had regulated the gun with the 405 grain rounds I moved the ajustment on the jackscrew just to see if I could find the sweet spot again. It took 6 rounds and it was shooting to point of aim again. Tommorow I will move back to 50 yards and start again. Accepting the trigger pulls and the stock design I'm very happy with the gun. No problems that I can see at this point. I will mount a scope without a doubt as soon as I locate some rings that are suitable, perhaps Talley rings will work with a slight modification.wcf
