RE: 45-70 buffalo classic
I am pretty sure there is a law against putting a scope on a single shot 45-70??? If not then there should be!!! If you want a scope then get a
Marlin lever action. IMO they just do not look right on a rifle designed to be shot with open sights. Tom.

RE: 45-70 buffalo classic
well, lol, while it may not be pretty, I'm no Quigley anymore I don't think. I'll have to see when it gets here how I can do with the open sites.
Lots of things have changed since I hit 50 years old. These strange aches and pains, and what the heck is up with having to change my glasses prescription every 9 months.

RE: 45-70 buffalo classic
You know, when I was sighting in the scope I was sure I could hear the ghosts of the mountain men saying, I wish we had one of those. The scope is the Leupold VXIII and has not moved. For the record, I do on a Marlin leveraction rifle. It is the 1895, again with a Roguard finish and NP3 internals, Wild West Trigger and Bear Proof Ejector. It kicks harder and cannot shoot as far or as accurate as the Buffalo Classic. MV out!

RE: 45-70 buffalo classic
Anyway, as soon as I harvest my first animal with the Buffalo Classic I am removing the scope and putting the Wesson & Harrington back on. It is way more fun to shoot that way. MV out!
