Question for Quick

Tim I was wondering if you could post the picture of your 500 with the scope mounted foward of the hammer.I am wanting to mount my scope on my 45-70 like that so I can use low rings. I was thinking about the Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32mm which is if I remember right is 10.5 inches long. I think if I use the factory base I will be able to do this. So if you could post this pictue I will be very thankful. Thanks

The Banner wouldn't be a good candidate for forward mounting due to its huge power ring and ocular bell, but a 2½x shotgun scope would work.

The shotgun scope in the previous reply is a Bushnell, this one is the Simmons 8-point that's on sale at CDNN for $20, they're both less than 8" long.

Tim if you don't mind just one more question for you. Do you think the Simmons 8 point 2.5x20 will hold up to the 45-70.

I dunno, but it is a shotgun scope, I would expect it to, I haven't used mine yet, but for $20, I wouldn't be too disappointed if it didn't and would be elated if it does work well!!
MSP has two of these scopes, maybe he'll chime in.

Thanks again Tim I don't know what we would do here without you.
I think I am going to give it try if it holds up great if not I have wasted more than 20 bucks on some of my crazy ideas before.

Mine has lasted at least 200 Remington factory rounds and/or hand loaded equivalents.
