    My eyes are shot for open sights. I went with a weaver scout set up on my 44 mag. Once I got used to it I really like it

    Nothing under 33mm for low light. 4x40 is hard to beat. Price and light gathering.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    The large objective low light thing is a myth. A 1x4x20 can be just as bright as a scope with a 56mm bell in low light

    A friend of mine just put a hollosun reflex (I think it’s a 510) on his 45/70. He’s pretty happy with it so far. He just mounted it and made two range trips so far.

    If it were my choice, i’d go with a red dot or a fixed power like the leupold fx series. I had one on my 375 H&h. before.

    I just got a 2.5 x 28 Leupold for mine. Works great.

    Not to threadjack but did you guys get the skinner sights locally? I've been looking for one for my custom MXLR and haven't had any luck so far, nor can I seem to order one from the states.
