Re: New .45-70 Arrived
Congrats! Love the wood. I thought that was a Long Range Express. Looks just like my rifle except for the scope.

That's MVA's Series 3000 & measures 28" in length.

Re: New .45-70 Arrived
How much elevation can you get on that scope setup? Enough for 1000 yards?

Re: New .45-70 Arrived
I marvel every time I see one of those rifles. I don't think there's a factory production anywhere in the states that can equal their wood/metal fit and finish.

Re: New .45-70 Arrived
Honestly, I don't know but Cheryl at MVA said I was good to go. Frankly, my eyes aren't but I'll have a fine time trying!

Re: New .45-70 Arrived
Are those Creedmoor mounts on your 28" scope. For reference, my .45-90 has used between 0.700" and 0.740" elevation for 1000 yards depending on weather and elevation. I mostly use a relatively light load of 78gr of Swiss 1.5 and a 535gr Money bullet.
That's a beautiful rifle by the way .
Chris.

Yes, sir, Chris, they are, indeed, Creedmoor mounts. Thanks for the kind words.gunlaker wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 9:50 amAre those Creedmoor mounts on your 28" scope.

Re: New .45-70 Arrived
Congratulations on a fine, fine gun investment! Tomorrow will be the 2-year mark for my order and am now getting excited about receiving it some time soon.
