I have one that I had on a Ruger 77RSC 458 WM that should work for your rifle. It mounts on the rear dovetail where the rear ring would be mounted. I sold the rifle and the buyer put a scope on it so I still have the sight.

The place to look is on Lipseys website. Any current production #1s are special orders by distributers/ retailers with Lipseys being the most prominent.

I don't think that anyone suggested that the Winchester 94 was strong enough to handle the pressure of a DG cartridge but the Winchester 86 and the Winchester 95 are completely different lockups. Both are certainly up to the task.

The Tipton universal bore guide that ii available from Midway will handle rods up to. .425 dia. Unless your rod is larger than that it should work.

The cartridge is popular because it meets the 1.8 inch requirement in states like Michigan AND because it was designed to function in an AR platform. Not my cup of tea but they are very popular with many. As to the #1s there was a limited run of them produced on special order.

I have carried for over 25 years living in Michigan, most of the time with a Ruger SP101 357 in a Milt Sparks summer special IWB holster Wear it for a few days and you don't even notice that its there.

They do it so that the army of deer hunters in places like southern Michigan where hunters are restricted to either shotguns or in recent years rifles chambered for straight walled cartridges that don't exceed 1.8 inches in case length will perhaps buy a rifle chambered for their ammo. Those new...

Michigan also limits the case length to 1..8 inches which takes the 45/70 off the table.

I have killed a couple of truckloads of deer using Hornady interlocks in 270, 7mm, and 30 caliber. They work very well. Perhaps not strongly enough constructed for something like cape buffalo but for anything else they are very good bullets.

This lengthy discussion makes me wonder where all of the 45/70 critics were when hunting buffalo with a handgun was being discussed. As I recall most comments on that one were positive.

For years I have loaded Hornady interlocks, Nosler partitions, Speer hot cores and Sierra game kings of the same weight and caliber using the same powder charges interchangeably. Same POI, same velocitys. The monometal bullets and solids are certainly different. I would think that the Swift A-...

I like Hornady interlocks, Speer hot cores and Sierra game kings for a decent expanding bullet. They aren't explosive and are very effective on normal game.

They killed deer well but the meat loss was terrible.

Why not just use real black powder, its available and what the rifle was designed to use.

I like your choices.
