I'm thinking about buying a Browning High Wall in 45-70 and getting a reproduction scope mounted that suits the time period of the gun's inception. Has anyone had experience with having scopes mounted to classic, single-shot rifles?
How much did it cost you for the smith to drill and tap holes for the mounts and get it mounted? What scope did you use? I'm thinking about a Taylor's & Company Wm. Malcolm 3/4” Telescopic Rifle Scope 18”, 6X Power. Are there any other options that are relatively similarly priced?
The High Wall itself, I'm thinking of a reproduction Uberti, just in order to keep the parts and gun purchase under $1500, since I'm anticipating a high-dollar pricing from the smith to have holes dilled and tapped, and a mount.

Another thing to add, I'm looking for a 30" barrel length high wall, to potentially fit a 30" 6x T&C scope.
Here's a buffalo rifle with that setup.

it's an over-under shotgun used for sporting or hunting. Not really related to the costs of drilling and tapping holes for a period correct scope onto a big-game hunting rifle.

An absolutely gorgeous example of what I want to do. A cimmaron with a long-ass 6x scope. anyone know how much it'd cost to get the mounts installed?

I think Unertl used to make repro straight tube scopes like this, but apparently they're not around anymore.

The only reliable option I think I have is the Taylor's&company. But I don't see anything bad about their scopes. From what it looks like t&c might partner with uberti. I atleast see a lot of t&c/uberti pairs, which lends me to think the combo is well proven.
