The fellows over at Accurate Reloading have been using, of all things, an airgun mount and are having great success. Apparently airguns are MUCH harder on scopes than most people believe. This mount has been holding up to their 45/70's and 06's just fine. (And it is inexpensive.):

I bought one but haven't mounted it yet.

I got a 45/70 last week. Haven't been able to get it to the range yet. The triggers on mine are so bad I am considering having my gunsmith buddy work them over before I even try.

To me, the rear sight is a gashed hand just waiting to happen. One good slip on the side of a hill and you're going to be gushing blood. I'm considering the Lyman folding leaf dovetail sight (the one many put on rifles with scopes) as a prime candidate for the replacement. I'm also considering a (real) ivory bead front sight from Brownell's.

Additionally, there is a guy on GunBroker selling Remington "suitcase" hard cases. I assume they were originally for 3200's but will take a SxS and accessories. I just won one. Make a classy accessory for a Remington/Baikal.
