The reason scope is coming off is not position of eye piece. I had
3 different scopes on it. A K3, Redfield 2 3/4x, and Burris 3x9
now on it. Just don't like scopes on Lever 45/70, or on any lever.
I had a #1 Ruger/ 6x Leupold and have #3 Ruger, 375win/ K4
and scopes on them don't bother me. I have had original Trap
Doors, but always loaded them with BP & cast 405g and iron
sights. I had one of the 1886 remakes NIB, but never shot it. I
also had 1895 remake 405, which was used, I did shoot it a little
At targets. I just can't warm up to remakes,have to have the
originals. Last good 86 I had chance on went for $7200, I bailed
out at $5000. Seems to me on all the big rifles they will kill you
on bench, or target shooting, but in the woods you don't fire that
many shots. I don't notice the recoil when shooting deer. The hardest kicking gun I own is pre 64 m70fw, 308. With 168gr
loads it will print butt plate on your shoulder, in bruise.
