I pulled the 1x4 Hakko Supra German post off of my 458 Lott and went to straight open sights, NEGW four leaf rear with a hooded ramp front. The Recoil with the 400s would move the scope in the rings, eating into the tube.
My 45-70 in a 98 style Mauser, also wears NEGW rear leaf sight and a hooded ramp front ramp. It is stout loaded for a 45-70, bottom of 458 Win Mag loads.

“To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is best to plan for all eventualities then believe in success, and only cross the failure bridge if you come to it."
