I would love a leupold 1.5-5 on it. just don't have the change right now. I might look for a used leupold. I love the german post cross hairs. I have a leupold vx2 2-7 post #2 on my 35 whelen. a leupold vx2 4-12 #4 on my 264 wm. and an older4x leupold post&crosshair on my contender 45-70.

well its a keeper, Shot it yesterday two different handloads that shoot great in my contender 370 cast gc bullet w/ 5744 and 405 rem cl w/ re7. both shot to point of aim at 50 yards. eight shots in about a 3inch group not bad for a gun I had never fired before and with open sites. to top it off...
I like the looks of the 1-4 type 20mm on guide guns, I was thinking weaver 1-3x, nikon 1-4, or maybe looking for a used leupold. any other suggestions what do you guys think would be good.
so 400 with a couple boxes of ammo is a good price. especially since I already reload for it since I have a contender carbine and a 1884 trapdoor cadet model in 45-70
check out the Hornady loading manual- they have a section just for the M1. I use varget, blc2 or ramshot biggame. I like the biggame-really clean burning powder.
I have the convertible with both cylinders 4 5/8 " barrel. And I like the 45 long colt so much I have not even used the 45 acp cylinder yet and I have had the gun for about 5 years. I also have a 44mag and I use the 45 colt much more. There is something special about a 255-290 grn lead bullet...
Mine did not shoot all that good out of the box- problem with the factory stock. if you touched the barrel it would stick to one side of the stock and change the point of impact. Groups were not what I expected. That is why I changed stocks. I took it out for the first time after the new stock...
That is the rifle I have, I put it in a HS precision stock it was not bedded right from the factory. I also had the throat lengthed so i did not have to seat the bullets so deep
yep- usually a ruger blackhawk 45 Colt with 290 gn cast bullets going 900fps when I'm hunting. if its warm I carry a couple of speer shot shell loaded w/ #12shot.
the rest of the year its a toss up what I carry- sig 229 40, 22 revolver, 44 mag, salmon fishing I keep a keltec p11 9mm in my...
out of that list the 350 grn 458 prt. and the 358 bullet. I would like to see the old 45 grn 22 Hornet solid base bullet brought back- down to four boxes.
