A description of how the project started is in the original post. I did everything else.

Bryan, did the barrel work after the initial regulating change the accuracy or POI ?

This project has taken a little of a back seat and has not been touched since i did the work on the top rib. I need to get it installed and shoot it again to see. I anticipate it may change a little, but not enough to cause a serious issue from a practical standpoint.

Hello B. Dudley, I just found and read your 30-30 thread and it did bring back some good memories of Bob Hynden. He would be pleased to see your work on this project. I like the way you used the rib for the grooves for the Talley removable rings. As on my Simson .405 made by Bob, this keeps the scope close to the bores. Also a good job with the regulation.
As an aside, I notice a marked similarity between your action and those of Merkel and Simson. Was your made in Suhl also?

Another benefit of compatibility with the Talley QR system is the Talley Peep Sight. Here is a pic of my Hynden/Simson .405 double rifle with the Talley peep installed: The height above the rib is just right to see through the V of the express sight, so the peep was immediately useable without adjustment. Link to Talley site: http://www.talleymanufacturing.com/Products/Scope-Ring-Bases-Peep-Sight/Peep-Sight.aspx First shot at 100 yards went into the bulls eye.: If you are interested, I can provide more information.

It is a Suhl gun.
Bob did a 20g slug gun for me with the same scope mounting setup, so that is where i took it from. My top rib blank came from him. We had a good amount of communication back and forth on this rifle. Right up through the regulation. It was at that time that he passed.

I ordered a Chapuis SXS 28 ga and on a whim added a 30-30 barrel set. It has a scope but I mostly use a little Doctor red dot. What a nice setup and at 6-3/4 lb, my lightest DR. It was regulated with 160 gr Hornady Ammo and shoots it just fine!
