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

Any scope good on a Ruger-Marlin .45-70 might be even better on a .458 WinMag.
Here is the Brian Pearce choice:



That is from he that used a Marlin .45-70 Gov't. lever action on cape buffalo
and wrote it up in the 2004 RIFLE #211 & #212, a two-parter.
I have finally gotten the chance to read the second part, found in my new half-ton library addition.
Pearce was using a Nikon 1.5-4.5x20mm in traditional location not complicated by the "peep&rail."

The 30mm tubed 1-5x24mm Leupold is 10.8" long and weighs 14.7 ounces
and has less eye relief than the 2.5x20mm Ultralight (8" and 6.5 ounces).
Pearce has mounted the big one ahead of the peep,
proving that tunnel vision is better than a poke in the eye.
