Nice! I love to see the big single shots at work.

I’ve got an original rolling block that I want to take out next time I draw an antelope tag. I’ll want to add a tang sight, the existing ones are 80-100yd max. View attachment 90645

Looks like a 50-70.

Dan, its a swedish 12.7x44r. Basically a metric 50-70, the case is a little shorter with a smaller rim. Same ballistics. You can use 50-70 brass to reload it if you modify the rim. I just use shortened 50 Alaskan brass. haven't had a chance to shoot it in the field, but it sure is fun on the range.

I covet the gun and the knife - very nice!
