had a bushnell red dot on my 44 mag rossi with no issues at all with zeroing at 50 mtrs . Silly question but is the rail on the correct way around ? They are usually shaped to fit the barrel as it...

Found a pic of mine and if you look closely you can see rail is tapered and shaped to fit around barrel taper. This rail came from gunworks and was a good price. 162936

Nope. Dont need it for the 50cal at all. But if it's big and strong enough to handle that, my 416 and anything smaller should be fine

Jhon, that’s what I was hinting at in my earlier post. The throats are “Lovelace “ in dimension for a lot of 7mms. So load to mag length or seat to a depth of 1 caliber diamenter for the lighter...
