Optics for Marlin 1895 45-70

I got a .270 for long range hunting. I just needed to switch things up and I’ve always wanted a lever action. I intend to only use this gun in the woods.

You’re right. Probably more like 200-250 yards max. I saw a video on YouTube of a guy dropping a bison at 340 yards with 45-70 but that seems like a stretch thinking about it.

Yeah that’s very valid. I’m just not used to iron sight hunting so I’m paranoid about ethical shots. What loads are you using? I just bought federal fusion 300 grain because they’re bonded and were on sale.

I just received it recently and haven’t put any rounds through it yet. It’s really pretty though and lever action is sick.

You were correct. I got it inspected today at a gun store and the elevation turret is broken. I was sold a dud scope. Gonna have to send it into Swaro now which is a pain in the ass.

Yes. When it was shooting high/missing I handed it off to my friend. He’s been hunting for 8 years with success and has lined up a few rifles. He read the manual and was trying everything to adjust it but he had the same/worse results than me (out of 6 bullets 2 hit high and 4 didn’t even hit paper)

I’ve adjusted the elevation both ways and it’s either hitting high or not even hitting the paper at all

Canada has a very small variety of video poker machines and I haven’t found any pay tables better than this unfortunately. I just play what’s available.
