Marlin 1895 sbl - 08/18/21 02:31 AM
Hey guys, I’m looking at throwing a optic on my 1895 45/70 I’m going on a bear hunt soon and they said shots will be from 10-70 yards. Unfortunately my eyes kind of get me at low light with iron sights and it’s a very heavy wooded area. I don’t really care to do a scout mounted optic. I was wondering if a 2-7 vortex or a 3-9 Burris would be to much magnification for that close. I would hate for my optic to ruin my shot. I also was wondering if the 45/70 would be to much recoil for these optics.
