As much as it pains me...
I've got a handi rifle in 45-70 that I'm pretty much set on scoping. While I / it shoot(s) to an acceptable level of accuracy with iron sights, I always seem to have a bear of a time making out the front sight during the hours that I'm most likely to have a shot (dawn / dusk) and consequently end up passing on shots that I might otherwise take.
Anyway, I was thinking about something in a fixed 4x, but a Burris Fullfield in 3x-9x is sorely tempting - I just doubt I'll ever turn it past the 3x setting. I doubt I'd ever take a shot over 150 yds with this set up - the idea is just to aid shot placement with the necessary hold over / under that comes with 45-70.
Anyone out there with a similar dilemma?
