Cajun,
I have a 45-70 BC, rechambered to 45-120, and I shoot very stout loads in the gun. I have a 4 12 40 Redfield on this gun and after several hundred rounds the scope is fine. The edge of the eye box on this scope is fairly thin so if you crowd the scope be prepared for a case of scope eye. The is an operator error problem as the new Redfields have a lot of eye relief.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
