New scope for my 45-70 barrel
« on: September 17, 2007, 07:40:24 AM »

Just thought I would share...here's my new scope for my 45-70 barrel this season...I got drawn for a controlled hunt in a good area just 45 minutes from my home...1st time trying and am pumped... ;D ;D ;D



It's the Nikon Omega 250 BDC...3x9...can't wait to go shoot it...It is a great scope...super long eye relief..extra bright and clear edge to edge...

I got my 45 70 barrel today and I've already got it scoped and ready to shoot. Now all I need is for someone to find a really large herd of Buffalo's and take a GPS reading and then call me. According to alot of 45 70 shooter,I can point mine in the directiion of the herd in WY. or anywhere,and kill the whole herd with one shot. :D :D :D :D :D   Digger
