Finally picked one up. I have a 4-12 on my other 1895, but I think I’m going to go with a Vortex strike fire 1-8 or maybe a Leupold 1-5. Any huge difference in the two besides the magnification? I feel like the Leupold might be better quality, but I’ve grown to love Vortex.

I'm partial tp leupold even though I have some Vortex scopes.I have a 1-5 on my Guide Gun and it has done very well.

A 1-5 or 1-8 will work well for the rifle and caliber.

Bet a scout model would work well on a SBL.

Leupold 1.5-4x 28 is what's on mine.

America is at that awkward stage, it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards....Claire Wolfe

I’ve said it before but the leupold 1.5-4x is the best for a lever gun.  Only 9oz and excellent glass!

Beautiful. What height rings for that? Medium?

I did high on my QD rings to clear the rear ghost ring.  I don’t see the scope ever failing but I wanted the ability to detach the scope if ever needed.

I run a XTR II 1-×8.  Perfect for a short range rifle
