Spanky,
A Redfield Revolution on the 30-30 and a Burris with the Ballistiplex on the 45-70. The Ballistiplex reticle gives accurate aiming points for trapdoor plinking loads and full-power mule kickers.
BB,
I'll keep a watchful eye out for that post and range report.
Dave,
You are correct, there's no stain, just a clear finish. More than likely I will just add some stock sheen or wax to the stock for a gloss finish.
Tim,
Thank you.
Thanks, Dinny
