compact, silver, good eye relief, 45-70 proof scope?
« on: March 22, 2010, 07:09:56 AM »
Yeah. leupold has a 2-7x33 vx1 with 4+" of eye relief in silver, but its $210+shipping. not bad, but is there anything else out there? Ive been searching the net for 2 days. The only other thing I found that looked good was a swift optics pistol scope with 9.5" eye relief(which would work fine for me)-swift reliant 2x20 in silver. says its for mag handguns, but I don't know if it would hold up to 45-70? looking for eye relief from @4-9.75" in a compact matte silver recoilproof scope. magnification not that important. Any help?

Not silver but look at this...

Look at the rail system

I have this setup on my 444 and can testify it is a very good setup.  Took a good 10point at about 100 yards.  Works very well in woods hunting.  Fast access and you shoot with both eyes open.  I believe it is the fastest on target system going!!!

I think you can get that in silver!!!

The Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm Shotgun/Muzzleloader scope is a good choice-----It has generous eye relief and comes in silver. It is on my a front runner for my .338 Federal Encore I am setting up.
