The idea is to take a 30-30 or 444 or 45-70 and install a barrel of 26, 28 or 30 inchs. this would be done on a marlin lever acton.
The goal is not truely a long range hunting gun but to improve accuracy and energy out to 300, to maybe a max of 500 yards with a lever gun. for hunting deer, antlope, and maybe black bear. I know the accuracy could be there for 500 yard shoots but maybe not the retained energy to make the best clean kills at that range.
would like some feed back on the idea and any ideas on a good gunsmith that works on lever guns. I know with the long range black powder silhouette and cowboy shooting some one is working on long barrled lever guns.
thanks for the help
