Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Here is a shocker, found at a gun show for sale price of 59.95 USD (MSRP at Amazon was about 20 USD more).
The rings that come with it are trash, possibly useful for a .22 Short, but dust covers do keep the dust off:






Advertised at 6.3" and 6.5" from different sources, whatever, it is adequate.

Another gun show find for 249.95 USD with a laser bore-sighter for .45-70 thrown in for free:







Weight on the dwarf 3-9x42mm with 30mm tube is about 17.6 ounces, less than the 3-10x42 NF SHV and 10x42 SWFA.
It sure would look different on a .458 WinMag, just sayin'.
Eye relief is plentiful for sure, about as long as the scope itself.
Field of view and internal adjustment ranges are nothing to write home about, however.
Everything costs something.

The upside-down Christmas tree is a ranging device.
Horizontal lines are about 7.5 MOA apart to my eyeball, evenly spaced vertically, not specified in manual.
The top one is 18" wide at 100 yards, on 9X, IIRC.
Then each one below it is same width at 25 yards more: 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250 ... better check the manual on that.
A Vietnam era style "man kill" reticle for jungle clearing ranges. 18" being about width of enemy torso,
or depth of game animal chest, I reckon.
