I am not sure which gathers more attention at the range...the scope or a funny looking rifle with a bigass barrel. But when the percussion cap goes off none of that matters! here are a couple of pictures of two 45 caliber "slug" guns I made 10 years or so ago. The barrel on the rifle with the short scope is by the late Ron Smith who has made 90% or so of rifle barrels that have won matches in the past 20 years or so. The long scope rifle has a scope I made from scratch which has non coated lenses so only about the middle 60% of a sight picture is very clear. I did it this way as this way mimics the way 1800s scopes were made until the lens companies figured how to coat the glass. I used my Harbor Freight 3 in 1 lathe/mill/drill which was great but I sold it last year. Both are for sale on Gunbroker by the way.
