Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Anyone ever use a Boone Scope?

Thinking of putting one on a 22HP.

If yes, what was your expedience with it?

Thanks,

IME the peep sight is more useful than the scope.

The Boone Saturn is more of a novelty than a practical/useful rifle sight.

I looked through one once.

I can't think of a reason I would need to look through one twice.

I was not impressed.

I ran one for a couple years on an 1899A short rifle in 38-55. It was the 2 1/2X model. I was amazed how easy it was to get "0" and hold it there. The year after I mounted it I took it back to the range and was shooting it when all went black. I took it off my shoulder and the scope rattled. I thought all was lost. Somewhere I got a set of instructions for it and disassembled it. There are 3 triangular mirrors inside and one of the mirrors came loose. I super glued it back into place and to this day have never had another problem. I think though, that it should be thought of as a magnifying peep sight rather than a scope. Someday if I come across the 4X model I might be talked into it. I would not use one as a general rule, but I have often thought of taking it into the field to kill a deer but I never did that.
