Steel El Paso Weaver V4.5-1 fine crosshair? - 10/22/10
Playing musical scopes and put the K3 bought on here onto a very old 760 '06.
Figured I'd put a Bushnell 1.5-4.5x32 Circle X SG scope on the Frontier .358; trouble was, the objective touches the "scout mount". And I don't feel like pulling that part off the barrel.
Remembered a Weaver low-powered variable my brother picked up at a gunshow about 25 years ago and never mounted. Then I found out why: the box said it had the Dual-X reticle, but the scope actually has straight crosshairs that appear very thin to me.
It appears he was duped at the show.
So, two questions for the gunwriters, et al:
1. Will the thin crosshairs be a hindrance treestand hunting in the woods?
2. Will the scope survive the fairly healthy thump of a 6.5-pound .358?
All input appreciated.
