One of the main reasons I bought this Buffalo Classic was because of the way it looks. The beautiful looks of this gun struck me the first time I saw one and, I never could shake the desire for one. I bought mine a couple of months ago. We are blessed with an abundance of hogs and, we shoot them often. I just knew the 45-70 would be a "stopper", for sure.
The problem is, my inability to hold steady with it. So, I'm reluctantly putting a scope on it and, gonna start alot of practicing shooting off sticks. So far, practice has been expensive. And, I find myself still at square-one. I am looking forward to having the scope on and, achieving some acceptable level of accuracy with my "Buffalo Classic".
The scope is a Burris Fullfield II 3 X 9 X 40. The folks at Burris suggested I buy Signature Zee rings and inserts. H & R recommended their own mount. I ordered the rings-n-inserts from Midway and waiting for the mount from H & R. I wish I would have known that Leupold's QR rings-n-mounts wouldda worked. Those suckers are strong!
Is this Burris mount/ring/insert combination gonna be able to take-a-lickin? I don't plan on shooting any of the hotter loads. The worst factory loads will probably be "Lever Revolution" ( I think that's the name) in 350 grain bullets.
Any suggestions on improving my accuracy would help. Thanks for allowing me to visit with y'all here.
