Browning M1885 BPCR Scope Recommendation?
« on: May 27, 2005, 02:14:43 PM »
I have never mounted a scope on a rifle before. But now, thanks to Graybeard himself, I have a set of proper scope mounts for my M1885 BPCR. I would like to use an inexpensive scope for BP load development at 100 yard off the bench.

Could use a good recommendation for rings and an appropriate scope from you guys.

Any related tips appreciated, too.

TIA
I don''t need to work -- I just do it for the money...

Tom,  Almost any scope rated for center fire rifles could be used on your 1885.  With a long eye relief scope something about 12x should fit the bill. Burris, Leupold, Lyman, Nikon, etc are some of the quality manufacturers that come into mind. Rbump
