Question
I know that the majority of your videos are about bow hunting and in most of the gun videos you or others in your videos are using muzzle loaders. However I live in Ohio and recently purchased a .45-70, what scope would you recommend for shooting out to 250-300yds. I was thinking about something with a bullet drop compensation due to the rainbow trajectory. I have been doing a lot of research into this and would like to know what scope you suggest for those long shots. A specific scope or brand would really help me out.

Shane,

I looked and didn’t find a scope made specifically for a .45-70.  Several of the Nikon scopes work well with the dangerous game calibers.  Those heavy rounds may have a similar trajectory.  I suggest researching those options!

Enjoy creation,
