But if you can shoot it like that, it is a great hunting rig.
I FULLY agree on the Scope, They look RIDICULOUS on a Sidelock! And in all honesty it doesn’t function well either, The Scope Has to be set Way Far Forward to Clear the Hammer, Therefore you would need an Extended eye relief Scope in order to Do this Comfortable, at least i would. So i was REALLY uncomfortable trying to Snub way up on the Rifle to get a Clear sight picture. When i got home it all came off and my Peep sight setup went back on. The next time i Shoot a Scope it will be on a Brand New Knight Mountaineer .45 Cal 1:20 Twist, I have 1 in a Shopping Cart Right Now, i just need to give some Credit Card numbers and Hit Submit
