Hi everyone. I have just purchased my first 45-70. I bought it used for $600 CND shipping included. The gun is a little over one year old and is in MINT condition. It has only fired two rounds through it. This same gun now cost $1066.43 CDN, shipping included. I am still waiting for it's arrival. It should be here on Monday. I can't wait to try it out. Do you guys think that I made a good deal?
Also, I was considering mounting a 1.5 - 4X Leupold on it. Do you guys and gals think that I should mount the scope or leave it with open sights? I will be hunting Black bear with it mostly and my ranges will vary from 40 yards (over bait) out to 150 yards in one of my areas.
Any and all opinions will be appreciated.
