[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1092020, member: 4786"] Leaupold is my favorite. BSA my least favorite. My cousin had one on a handi-rifle in .45-70 that he wanted me to work up him a load with a 300 gr Hornandy hollow point. The Hand-rifle can handle the same loads as a Marlin, so it is pretty stout with hand loads. I already had some loaded at very near max pressure for my Marlin, so I tried them first. In the light Hand-Rifle with no recoil pad this was the most brutal recoil that I have ever experienced. The recticle broke after 3 shots. He took the scope back and got a new one, and it lasted 5 shots before the recticle broke on it. He gave up and put a Nikon on it and it lasted for years. Rifle ended up shooting good after he got a decent scope on it. [/QUOTE]
