I posted a while back about mounting a scope on my Pedersoli hammer rifle in 45-70.The base and mount are on and set up with a weaver 1 x 3 20mm scope.Everything is aluminum to minimize the effect on the barrels and regulation.Shot the arrangement this morning and it did change the regulation a bit.Where it was hitting paralel out as far as I had shot it, now it is spreading apart and some vertical separation.The spread at 100 yards is consistent at 3 3/4 inches left to right and about 1 1/2 inches vertical.Probably good enough for anything it will get used for by me.Buggs me though and will start tweaking to find out if it will improve-with open sights it was noticably more consistent with about 1 inch left to right and 3/4 inch vertical at the same distance. Had much better eye sight back then.The hits from both barrels are very consistent at hitting in the same place making two predictable groups, so lets see what I can do with it. Stay Tuned.
