I like what you did in creating a new, fine looking, hunting piece. I have a old 38-72 Win M 95 from the black powder days, and I'd consider having it mad into something that I could use as a hunting rifle. If possible, my choices would be is I'd like to have it converted it to one of the following calibers. A, 9.3 x 62, Or a 35 Wheland (sp), 30-06 , 270 or maybe a 405. A recoil pad would be good, and possible sufficient height on the cheek rest area to accommodate some type of optics that might work with this type of receiver. As my eyes have aged, I'd like some something a bid more friendly then the open sites, if possible. I wouldn't know how the present receiver would accommodate any of these calibers or possible optics but any suggestions would be appreciated.
