New Scope Mounted
I thought I would post this photo of my Hawkin Carbine with the new scope. It is a 3x Leatherwood:
I am having some problems sighting it in. I have got to get the rear sight ring base shimmed up some. It is shooting way too low. Aside from that, it is great having the scope and seeing what I am aiming at for a change.

That's a neat looking setup rafsob. What kind of eye relief does that scope have? How many holes did you have to drill & tap for the mounts? It sure would look fine on the long 33" barrel of my .58 Hawken.

Hey BP, how's it going pal. Take a visit over to this site:

The scopes they put out come in three lengths, 17", 18" and 32". 17" is the one I have in 3x. The 18" comes in 6x. I figure I was going to be hunting in the think woods of Virginia and 3x would be just fine. Most of the scopes I use for hunting are in 2.5x.
I have another Malcolm style scope that was made by Tasco years ago and is all brass. I will be putting it on my H&R 1871 rifle. I will post that one when it is done.

Check out the website I posted for BP. The 32", with an extention would fine. Also check out these prices:
This the best price I could find:

Now this H&R 1871 looks good, don't it?
To give you an idea of the prices, check out opticsplanet:
