BC Range Report for First Timer!
« on: July 01, 2005, 10:27:14 AM »
Hello everyone, I shot my BC 45-70 today for the first time.  I followed lots of advice from the threads here and then finally got a chance to pull the triger on her.  I shot with Winchester 300 grain HP Classics.  It printed about three inches high at 50 yards.  I had already changed out the rear sight to the newer H&R adjustable peep that is more reliable.  I read on here somewhere how someone had already sighted theirs in and had it set at a certain point for 100 yard accuracy.  I simply followed that guys description and set the rear sight at that point.  I used the front post sight in the globe.  I had read where someone thought that was the best suited for it.  So, all that reading helped me out tremendously.  I can't say enough to describe how pleased I am with the gun.  It's awesome.  I love it.  I can't wait to start taking it out hunting.  Well, that's the latest from ole Kentucky.  Keep your powder dry! :-D

Glad your gun is a blastin, and makin ya happy.
I have no real need for a 45-70, but I still want one. To my embaresment of all the caliber I have shot I have yet to shoot a 45-70. I believe everyone should have a BigBore in the cabinet. Perhaps a winter goal for me to shoot for.....

Congrats on your BC 45-70  :D . I don't know much about these guns, but I am becoming more curious.
