Sighted in my new H & R Stainless 45-70 Ultra Hunter with Thumbhole Stock. After using J-B and installing my Burris Black Diamond 3-10x-50mm scope on Weaver #49110 high 30mm mounts. I took it to the range to sight in. After shooting a box of Hornady LEVERevolution 325gr's thru it the bottom right target shows the last 5 shots. I don't understand what all the talk is about the heavy recoil from a 45-70. My gun doesn't kick any harder than my 30-06 Remington 700BDL, as a matter of fact it has a slower recoil that I find much more pleasant than my 30-06. I have a feeling I'll be using this gun alot more than I expected. I originally had a Pentax Gameseeker 3.5-10x-50mm mounted on Leupold PRW #54150 high rings. It would shoot two touching shots and then a flyer off to the right, I'd let it cool and then it would shoot two touching shots and then a flyer off to the left. I checked the mounts etc, nothing was loose, I suspected the scope as not being able to handle the recoil and that the cross hairs were moving. Since it was shooting so well I decided to put a better scope on it and I love the outcome. I love this gun and am looking forward to adding a few more Handi's to the collection. I am wanting to do a Rem 260 barrelled gun in the near future, as soon as I get the funds saved up.
