Was doing a transfer at the LGS when I noticed “blem” 1895 SBLs for $1199 a pop. Hadn’t intended to drop over a grand today but seemed like too good of a deal to pass up! Only blem I can find is a slight scuff on the pistol grip
What’s the go to scope these days for a 45-70? |

My Ruglin sports a Leupold VX2 1.5-4, they're discontinued now but leupold offers the "Freedom" series with the same specs.
Great rifles you should enjoy it.

How much is a non blem? I plan to put a red dot on mine.

I should’ve patented my offset rail I made when marlin first brought these out. And I would’ve bought that blem in a second.
I like low power fixed, mainly cause they mount so low. 2x Leo on this is plenty for my use, elk. It’ll cut cloverleaf’s at 50 yards on paper.  Attached File |

It's a 336 but, same pattern... I have a Burris 2.75x fixed on this and an 1886 in 45-70. It does the job quite well.
 Attached FileEta, you definitely want the low mounts for this option. What's pictured are the medium mounts, and they're a touch higher than what I'd prefer... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Morgan321: The best scope mount ever made. Oh that’s slick. I’d go that route but I have the one with a rail. Definitely interested in the low mounts though. Thanks for the replies! |

Most all these guys get it.
If it is necessary to scope a lever gun it is best to use lower power and low rings . I have quite a few lever guns and only two wear scopes , marlin 45/70 and a rare marlin in 375 winchester |
