well I took a double dip and acquired a 30-06 Rem/Baikal double. I'm still looking for scope rings and or bases for each rifle. I took the 45-70 apart and worked on the trigger pulls, I simply cleaned the internal parts and stoned off some extremly rough areas. Trigger pull has improved front is at 5 lbs and rear at 6 lbs. I'll live with that. I made a shalow V out of the rear sight and made a modified front sight that has helped.

I have been looking at scope bases and rings for the Sako and Tikka line of guns "Optilock" (i believe)they appear to be set up for a similair dovetail cut on the top of receivers. Does anyone have any idea's on these. I've been unable to get any specifics from different retailers who are selling them
