    45-70 optic

    Everyone is going to think I'm nuts, but I put an unusual sighting system on my newest 45-70. Unusual, but it seems right for the task. I'm going against my own grain. Meprolight RDS Pro V2. Ugly as chit, but lots of positives nonetheless.

    I've got a Leupold Pig Plex on my 45-70 Marlin, and a red dot on my 444. Probably going to swap them, since the 444 stock is designed for a scope.

    They work really well on lever guns.

      No, it’s not nuts if it works for YOU. If you can make hits from field shooting positions in realistic time parameters, that’s all that matters. Besides, once a bullet leaves the muzzle, what it came out of is totally irrelevant.

          I put a Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20 on my Marlin Guide, used Talley 30mm Marlin Model 336, 1895 (Ex-Low) I like it so that's all that matters to me

            I am planning on putting a Noblex red dot on mine.

                Well, at least most of y'all are choosing optics with long eye relief.

                  No answer to why, but I do seem to like long eye relieve optics. I have several Burris scouts.
