Doug, nice rifle! What kind of scope do you have sitting on it? Jim

LONGTOM · « **Reply #6 on:** July 07, 2008, 03:23:51 PM »

Looks like you are starting off on the right foot!

Nice gun, hope it does well for you.
Look forward to the range report.

JamesIII, it is a Simmons 2 2/1X 20, 8 point scope. This has become one of my all time scopes.I have it on now two 30-30's one 357 and on a Ruger 10-22.They are very clear and stand up well to use. hth Doug

canon6 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2008, 03:28:18 PM »

Longtom, well stated.

Doug

Bought a syn stock set for SB2 and plan on buying 30-30 barrel with the open sights for receiver. Can you comfortably see the iron sights on this rifle without the scope using the monte carlo stock? I'm curious.

Doug, is that the $20.00 scope Tim was telling me about?

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2008, 12:58:07 AM »

Love them parts Doug. Is that the regular scope mount? I still haven't put any of those scopes on a rifle yet. They do look clear and for $20.00, Ya just can't go wrong.

deltec, I do not have a problem using irons with the montecarlo stocks,I know some do.AtLaw, yes that is the $20.00 scope.I do not know how you can go wrong.As dpe.ahoy stated they are very clear, and for the price

Doug

canon6 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2008, 04:28:23 AM »

dpe, missed your question, yes it is the standard NEF base. I am going to change it to the #82 Weaver as soon as I can get one. It allows the scope to be forward/even with the breach end. See attached photo of Cheri's 30-30. Doug

I want one of those badly, if for nothing more then to beat you guys with if it doesn't compare favorably with a Zeiss!

However, I can't get past paying half as much for shipping as I do for the scope! $20 scope, $10 shipping

I looked around at all the usual suspects but can't find a local outlet for them. I guess I could see if there is anything else I want to order with the scope, or maybe 2 scopes... I dunno... $:-\$

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2008, 06:50:30 PM »

That's why I ordered 5 of 'em.

Doesn't add so much to the cost per scope that way.

'Sides, if I get more scopes than guns, yep, need more guns.

Tencubed · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2008, 06:53:25 PM »

So, where are you ordering these scopes from? If they will stand up to these rifles they may be just what I need.

Mike

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2008, 07:05:45 PM »

CDNN Sports, Inc., Shipping is pretty reasonable, can't find the bill, but I think it was about $110.00 for the 5 scopes and shippiing. 'Course, CRS has hit me pretty hard lately too.

the price of gas these days if thats all your out lookin for 10 bucks aint bad, to have it delived to your door,? i cant believe shipping cost these days either but hey ? 4bucks a gal for them too i guess,

hey canon 6 thats a sweet rifle , hows about a few more pics ? who did your chop job? , those painted synthetics on it?

canon6 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:23:47 AM »

I can not take credit for the stocks,fellow member Longcruise painted it.It is a wood stock that he trimmed down.IIRC it is Rust-e-oleum(sic) ,I did the chop job the new front sight and new rear sights. Here are some more pictures.All of this fits in a two barrel carrying case. Doug

Tencubed · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:33:39 AM »

Thanks for the contact info fellows. Wonder if that scope will handle the recoil of a 4 1/2 pound 45-70? Guess a good way to find out is give it a try.

Slick looking rifles, I really like that paint job!

Mike

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:49:09 PM »

It's a fixed power shotgun scope, should hang together with the best of them. Heard alot of badmouthing the Simmons scopes, but I have never had any trouble with one and for the price they all seem to be quite clear and hold settings well. The newer ones are even better than the older ones and for $90.00, the ProHunter 3x9x40 is a buy! Another plus is the eye-bell is not so fat, can be mounted in lower rings and not interfear,

(mess with) with the hammer. Just my opinion, but of course I'm right.

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:55:34 PM »

Doug, the more I look at the gray paint job, the more I like it. Might have to try to try that with some black or red spider web paint. Course I'm sure stimpy thinks thats just a good primer coat for one of his "drab" paint jobs.

Just pullin' your leg stimpy, ya got some real purdy stocks from what I've seen in the pictures. DP.

petemi · « **Reply #24 on:** July 10, 2008, 05:58:30 AM »

Doug, I haven't had anything but good luck with Simmons scopes, despite what people say. With my old eyes, I can't see any better out of a $300 number, and I've never had any recoil problems with them. I built 4 of my Handis out of parts, and all are excellent. If I didn't already have 2 Marlin 336s in .30-30, I'd build one too.

I'm finding I really like some lead shot in the larger caliber synthetic stocks. My '06 Handi is now softer shooting than my 336s, and I'm going to change the .45-70 over to synthetic and give her about 2 lbs. plus of lead up her butt. I have 36 oz. in the '06 and it feels about like the Garand I used to tote at government expense.

stimpylu32 · « **Reply #25 on:** July 10, 2008, 06:46:13 AM »

Yep , looks like a base coat to me

Honestly I like it , anything that will replace the gunk that H&R puts on a stock ( Pallet Wood ) is an improvement .

After stripping down some of their stocks I do understand why they do it , some have GREAT wood and we would start to expect that all the time .

stimpy

On a side note I picked up a Barska Huntsman 3x9x40 scope last night at my local MC Sports on sale for $19.99 and have it mounted on my 30/30 barrel . I plan to try and shoot it later today and see how it holds up . We shall see .

jpshaw · « **Reply #26 on:** July 12, 2008, 03:31:52 AM »

Darn you quick. That post with the CDNN ad is going to cost me about $30.

deltecs · « **Reply #27 on:** July 12, 2008, 11:09:46 AM »

My high opinion with the posters here regarding the scope on this rifle just made me call the link and ordered 3 of them. I can't help but agree with the previous post as it cost me relatively little in shipping per scope and I can buy more rifles so I don't have extra scopes on hand. Beside the Ultra I already have would be better served with this scope than the one on it. I like the idea of it moved forward enough for the hammer to be drawn with the thumb without the objective lens in the way. I may put one on my B78 Browning single shot for the same reason. Maybe the other on my No 1 Ruger. Wow, I do have places to use these scopes. Oops, I have to buy another for the new Handi in 30-30. Oh darn.
