Thanks for the replies, gentlemen! I didn't get to read this until today, and by then I'd already decided to stick with the Browning Mountain Rifle I already have. As much as I like good rifles today, I probably would have then, as well. The various plains rifles were some of the best in the world, so I would have wanted one. I've mated the Browning with a pair of '51 Navies, so I should be fairly well armed. I'm just getting started in working on this so I'll be bouncing more stuff off of you gentlemen in the future!
