Right scope for my Marlin 45-70 DNZ 1" Mount?

Postby Bergie on Sun Nov 22, 2020 9:52 pm

I'm sad. I had a 4x Trijicon that I thought would be perfect for my 1885 so I got a 1" DNZ high mount and put it all together. But the scope has a large front 'bell' that has to clear the hammer so sits way far back. Too much for good eye relief. So I threw on an old Leupold that clears the hammer a little better. This wasn't my plan for that Leupold. Is there a scope with a straight tube or smaller diameter eye objective that'll clear the hammer and handle the 45-70 kick?

I use a fixed 2.5x Leupold FXII ultralight on mine, but use Talley Lightweights.

I'm thinking about going with a red dot though.

It turns out that what you have is less important than what you do with it.
