I used to use a fixed 4 power scout scope on my 45-70, it was a sweet setup

2x7 x33 leupold like open sights with a crosshair close on 2 power and 7 power is good at 200+ yards
try a red dot on it. Quick to use and accurate (dependent on range!)
skinner sights for me. ive never thought about putting a scope on my TSBL but if i did it would be a Leupold
ZEISS Conquest V4 1-4x24 with reticle illumination
Leupold 2.5x IER mounted scout style in low QD rings. I replaced the Buckhorns with a Wild West ghost ring and Williams Firesite up front.
I have my JM stamped Marlin 1895GS set up with Warne nickel two piece scope bases on the receiver mount either a Leupold 1-4x20mm or 1.5-5x20mm scopes using Leupold QRW rings.
When I remove the scope I mount a low Weaver XS Sights backup ghost ring sight
I load bullets from 250gr Monoflex to 550gr Jae Bok Young Craters my favorite jacketed bullets are 350gr Swift A-Frames with the XS ghost ring sight installed I put 6 of these into 6" @ 150 yards - favorite cast are either 525gr Piledrivers or the 550gr JBY.
Funniest post I have ever read...
