I think Stuffit has a GunstocksInc stock on his BC. I've restocked a 38-55 Target that's been rebored to 405 Winchester...

And put a checkered walnut stock on a scoped BC....

hey quick
i like that set up on the bc
where did you get the stock??
what kind of scope do you use to stand up to the recoil??
and how accurate is that gun set up that way??
that looks like what im wanting to do with one
thanks,

The walnut checkered stock is a youth stock from Brownell's, inside the Galco recoil pad is the youth stock's recoil pad, it's within a ¼" of the same pull length as an adult Monte Carlo. That scope is a Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 Mildot, but any good scope will stand up to the recoil of a 45-70, they aren't that bad, specially with the loads that most people shoot in em. That stock is not comfortable to shoot heavy loads, I shot 540gr loads at about 1700fps and it was brutal on my face. A check pad would help a lot!! Accuracy was 1"-1¾" at 100yds, depending on the load I shoot.
