Scope for a Savage 99?
I just picked up a 50's EG that had been drilled and tapped for a scope. It came with Weaver bases. What scope would you recommend? Rings? I'm thinking of a fixed 4 power or a low range variable. One that fits the rifle and doesn't affect handling. A scope that doesn't look like I have a sewer pipe ...

kaschi, If I remember right, when I read about the 1886/71 on the Pedersoli home page, they lengthened the magazine tube 2.5 inches on the premium so as to add an extra round in the magazine. I like the original magazine length, but if I was chasing big bears regularly that extra round might give me...

Shasta,
Thanks for your post...glad to hear the fit and finish was so good. Makes me wonder why he had trouble feeding cartridges. His own handloads?
Anyway, one of these is on my wish list, especially since pre-Remington Marlin Cowboy .45-70's are in the $1000 dollar range now.

Re: Pedersoli 1886/71
I just saw that Cabelas has these rifles on sale for $1399.00. Still tough to swing at Christmas, but definitely down from the $2000.00 of last year. If it wasn't Christmas I would drive to Billings five hours away, my closest Cabelas, and buy one. As I've said before, I sure love my Browning 71.

Re: Any Roofer Types Here? Price Check
Much depends on where you live and the competition for jobs. I just paid $4500 for a roofing job here in rural Montana that my brother-in-law in Seattle said would have cost me half that there.
Get some bids, check around. On my $4500 dollar job I also had a bid that was $2000 higher.

I'm in the market for a .45-70 and love my Browning 71 in .348, so a match in .45-70 would be fun. My dad has a Marlin in .444 that he likes a bunch so the Boarbuster might be an option for him or me too.
