« on: October 20, 2006, 05:02:36 PM »
I haven't looked yet but was thinking of one of these two  Leupold 1.5x5x20 or the leupold 1.75x6x32 does anyone have these on there XLR's how do they balance.

Leupold 2-7x33 in Warve Quick Detach or Leupold Quick Release rings and bases.

4.9" eye relief at 2x for the heavy loads.  Even my "Rhino Blaster loads (460g hardcast @ 1812fps, 48 foot-pounds recoil) don't cause the scope to hit me.

I plan on using weaver two peice grand slam bases (steel)  with the leupold QRW rings i use these on all my rifles and the leupold 2x7x33 is a great scope i once had one on a 1895 but its now on my remington 750 but i am realy interested in just the two scopes mentioned above  and was wondering if  someone had them on there 1895 to give me there opinion on them.

I second what Coyote Hunter said...I made the mistake of going with something different instead of this...now I'm waitng for Cabela's to send my Warne bases to me...I'll be using the QRW rings this time around..The turn in front post and adjustable rear base of Leupolds just dont stand up to the heavy pounding of the 45-70...and will let go..Mine did yeaterday >:(
