I look forward to the report. I had a quick look at the design. I bet it will be accurate as heck. I have been seeing a lot of info here about 200gr. .40 call bullets in the 45 ML's. I bet it will be a sweet shooter. BTW, I love those DNZ mounts. I have been using Williams Streamlines on all my rifles for years. I always wondered why they never did a one piece base. DNZ did a nice job with it. I see the Knight offers a single piece Talley ring of similiar design. I will probably go that route for the Mountaineer. Like you said, that will probably have to wait a while for more funding!!! It will be open sights for a while.
