  • I was wondering about scout scopes. everyone saying there better for quick target aquisition but they have a much smaller field of veiw. do you find them quicker on running game etc? can you shoot well with them at longer ranges. are there any disadvantages over the standard eye relif scopes. im lookin at putting one on 30/30 for hogs and being able to shoot ocasional comps with the xs sight same as on the rifle your reviewing. Any info is apreciated

  • Using a two power scope, you can leave both eyes open, for a very wide field of view.

  • What's the range with this round accurate at 80+ yards?

  • I have sucessfully fired the 45-70 at targets as far away as 1125 yards, and better shooters regularly shoot small groups with the 45-70 out past 1000 yards, and even as far away as 1500 yards. In the ordance trials in 1872 and 1873, the US Army fired the 45-70 onto target at over one mile.

  • How will a 190 lbs 5foot eleven male do against the recoil of this rifle?

  • Should have no problem at all - I am five-eleven, and just over 200 pounds.

    Thanks

  • More of a push with the 45-70 compared to the sharp hit with that 7mm. It will be no problem for you.

  • Hey I do not know if you will see this message but how is the recoil with this? I consider myself a smaller guy at 140 pounds. I shoot 7mm rem mag no problem standing is this comparable?

    Thanks.

  • Love this gun 405 with 62g of h335 seeing a little over 2000fps with magnum primers. Hornady ftx 325 seeing 2487 very powerful round
