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

UPDATE; I worked through 40 rounds of Remington 300 Grain JHP with little success. The best group at 25 yards was 7 inches CTC. I did get the right barrel to shooting to POA however the left barrel shot 6 to 7 inches high, the windage was fine but elevation, I don't know. I shot 10 rounds of Hornady Leverloution, again the right barrel was in line but the left barrel was shooting high and to the right. The recoil from the Hornady was significantly more than the others. I went back to the Remington 405 grain factory loads and once again the gun was shooting better that I could hold it. The 50 yard groups with the 405 grain loads also stayed around 3-4 inches with the open sights. I have ordered scope rings and will attach optics later in the week. I have decided to purchase a 30-06, might as well get completely wet while I here.
