Very awesome!
One question - does it co-witness with the iron sights? If not, do you think it is possible with a different sight combination?

Thanks!
No co-witness, but it does look like longer screws and custom
shims could raise the DRC sights enough for a 1/3 co-witness.

Hey, you're like a regular cowboy
.
Just bustin' your chops, it's probably a pretty handy rifle.

I like it. Really like that base too. Where did you find that?

Have you shot it yet? How's it hold up to that recoil?

I wanted to try the same thing on my Marlin but the forward rail I have is a Weaver and will not accept the T-1.
What T-1 mount are you using?
The LaRue "short" T-1 Mount (P/N LT661) might add just enough height to get you co-witnessed.
I would be very interested in a range report before I go through the hassle of swapping out my rail.

Times, they are a changing... T-1 is lighter but only 1X
I use the ghost ring sights for back up

I had it set-up with a Leupold Scout scope, but prefer the Aimpoint on the lever gun because I won't be targeting anything beyond 150 yards or so.
I moved the Scout scope over to my FrankenScoutMK14 because I will be reaching beyond 200 yards with it.

Re: Micro T-1 on my .45-70 Guide Gun
What a great application for the T1. I replaced a CQT on my AR with one and my longer range groups improved. Such a totally different concept, I love having the field of view around the optic, it's almost like it just appears and with a dot big enough to see easily but not too big to obscure much of the target. I have bought more since.
On the downside, I will admit to hating the bikini covers. I needed a riser for AR so I got the GGG mount that allows for Butler Creeks. I'm sure that would ruin you low profile, I use that way on an AK.

JEB405... agreed, the bikinis suck.
I have a scope coat on my T-1, which should work for H2O MAN's application.
<span style="text-decoration: line-through">What Butler Creeks fit the T-1?</span>
And I figured this out...
GG&G Aimpoint T-1 Quick Detach MountWith Integral Flip Up Lens Covers
Neat-O.
