Hey Tarawa:

I just purchased a Baikal 45-70 DR sxs.

I was going to buy a Leupold scout scope in 2.5 x 28 however,after seeing this Barska, I have some questions:

The bottom photo, is that DR mounted with the 1.5 x 4 Barska European scope?
What is the eye relief on the scope?
Do you have the proper eye relief with that scope mounted to your DR?
Do you think the scope will take the recoil of a 45-70?

I look forward to your reply.

Kindest regards,

Carpediem
