Looks great. Would love to see more pics when possible. 62s are my favorite hunting calibers

Isn't that a conical twist for a .62".  The .50 cal. Sharps had a 36" twist.

Very interesting rifle indeed. I'd smooth the crown a bit.

First shot 18” low and centered

Sounds like a great start. I usually fire 3 shots for a 'round' group before filing sights.
