Which Leupold scope is that? What size groups do you get at 100yds? I have a Garand and a Rem. 700 in 308 so a lever in that caliber would work out for me. I shot a friend's Browning BLR and found the stock did not work for me with a scope. TIA, Rudison |

I was getting around 1-1/2" to 2" groups at 100 yards the last time I had her out (That was quite a few years ago!). I have a Tasco 3x9 scope on my Marlin .45-70 and while the combination has worked great, it is a large scope and just doesn't fit the balance of the rifle all that well.....I want to swap that out for another Leupold 2x7 scope. I think the smaller scopes look better on a lever action... |

I'd bet the hole spacing is the same on both guns. |
