If you decide to use Tally rings, the low rings will not allow the bolt past the magnification ring - so at minimum get the medium rings. If you decide to get the...

    How to clean big bores?

    The 460 Weatherby chamber diameter (10.6mm) is very similar to a 410 shotgun chamber diameter (10.4mm) so you could consider using a 410 cleaning kit

    The NECG website does seem to have some good options - thanks for the recommendation. As I think about it relative to the rear notch sight and secondary flip up leaf, I wonder if a larger front sight would negatively impact the accuracy, especially of the secondary flip up leaf which has a very...
