Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Winchester 70 with a 56 mm scope? Pictures?

BoxerDog, I have gone through a bit of experimentation with my riflescopes on one of my favorite hunting rifles, this M70FW 270 WIN. I started out with a 2.5 - 8 x 36 VX-III but due to deteriorating vision needed more light during those first and last 15 - 20 minutes. I tried a Meopta 56MM and it worked, but the rifle became ungainly to handle, carry, even visually it looked out of place. I replaced it with a VX-6 with 30 mm tube and 42 MM objective. This is the best compromise I have found, even got the red dot version which helps me locate the center of the crosshair in very low light against dark backgrounds (such as in a swamp). Good luck in your quest, shown below in order as mentioned. Odessa
