Im still hoping they take another look at a 1-24 twist 45cal. It looks like one of my motorcycles is being sold and now i will have some more play money.

If they are going to float the barrel though i would strongly prefer an additional lug and mounting screw near the rear of the action. This should be a very simple modification for a smith and IIRC the LRH is just a tiny bit longer at the rear. Maybe even enough room to clear the trigger assembly and add another lug/mounting point.

I may try this before my LRH project is done.

Offer a 40-220gr Barnes type bullet and you should have a real long range 45cal. Add a more conventional jacketed lead 235-250gr 40cal and you can easily go out a bit further depending on the shooters skill level.

BTW the LRH has the same recoil lug as an Elite, so its not really gone. Basically only the barrel contour instead of fluting are different. My LRH barreled action dropped right into 2 Elite stocks and a modded Extreme TH stock with full length bedding.
