For what it's worth, I like the Redfield 70 on a 99 carbine or short rifle better than the Lyman 57. The Lyman just looks bulky to me in comparison.
Yah, but I have a Lyman.
Well you know what they say about the value of one in the hand vs two in the bush.
Well, I checked and the Lyman I have fits factory drilled rifles (scope base holes), so it's regular old irons for this girl.
