The rifle is finally put together and I am ready for deer season.
For optics, I went with the Leupold 2.5x28 Scout on quick detach mounts with ghost ring BUIS.
Adding an extended magazine tube turned out to be a bit more involved than I anticipated. A new dovetail had to be cut into the underside of the barrel properly mount the new tube. Needless to say, I needed a professional gunsmith. I talked with the guys at Clark Bro's and they recommended a local shop (Baity's Custom Guns). They did all of the aforementioned work, tweaked the extractor and installed a Wild West trigger and mainspring....all for $65.
The custom smithing looks phenomenal. The WWG trigger is rock solid and breaks at a very clean 3.5lbs, and I've now got 6+1 rounds of .45-70 in a handy little package.
