Gettin' the scope down low...
« on: June 11, 2008, 03:35:54 PM »
I've had accessory barrels done up for my .45-70 BC, one in .204, the other .500 S&W.  All three are scoped up now, but with the low comb of this stock, I'd sure like to get the scopes down a LOT closer to the barrel.  Has anyone attempted to lower the hammer, reshape it, or do SOMETHING with it to get some more clearance at that point?

The FAQ's are a wonderful place to start. If ya got scopes on all of them put a monte carlo stock on it. Kurt

If I owned a BC I would put one of those lace on leather cheek pieces to raise my face to the scope.  It's removable, plus I think they look neat.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
