      All my rifles have scope rings I can look through and still use the open sights. It sets the scope up a little higher . I don't know what they are called exactly but to me if by chance you trip or slip and fall and question if your scope is still good or got knocked around rather than the hunt being over you can still use the open sights till you can sight it in. Or a buck of a lifetime is running by and dont have time to find it in the scope the open sights are there.

    It's truly a shame that they no longer make the 7600 or 7400 rifles. Everyone in our hunting party uses one or the other. Great video we look forward to many more and a great hunting season ahead.

    I use a similar setup on my 7600. I went with the Leupold quick release base (part # 50067 ) and the Leupold quick release rings ( part # 49974) . I use a leupold vx-3 1.5-5 x 20mm scope. The quick release rings allow me to take the scope off and use the factory open rifle sights. I very rarely ever take the scope off, but if i need to it detaches in a second. The scope always returns to zero. I would rather find an older Leupold without the new custom dial system that they are putting on scopes now. I like simple, less things to go wrong. Plus, I like the classic duplex reticle.
    As always your videos are very educational and informative.

I've never hunted with a scope , ever , here in NH , but i think that time is drawing near . This was a great help . Maybe a discussion (brief) on various scopes and why you choose them ??

    Cool system. Bad weather gives me an excuse to use my old Lee Enfield .303, which has an industrial grade peep sight. On a good day I can shoot just as tight of groups with that rifle as with my scoped ones at 100 yards... only problem is that bush shooting is often as much about trying not to hit sticks as it is about trying to hit the deer, and a scope is inarguably superiour for "threading the needle" as the yardage increases.

  • @45-70Guy

    Having a quick detach is a great option. I love the peep for a lightweight option but a low powered scope is also very useable in the thick woods.

    Fyi, In my opinion those lead sleds are HARD on your gun and optics
    The energy needs to go somewhere. Not be locked in. They are nice to avoid recoil, but not at the price of potential damage. Just my thoughts

    • @MaineOutdoorEnthusiast
      @MaineOutdoorEnthusiast  3 месяца назад

      Thanks! No, you're right about lead sleds. I totally agree. I don't like them and only shoot a few shots off the bench when I am zeroing a rifle. I guess for me, I want to eliminate any human element when zeroing. I don't know if it's the science/lab rat in me or what...I just want the best QA possible with no human error . Then I go to shooting offhand...I have no use for bench shooting outside of that. I figure the sleds not locked down, minimal weight, gun is not strapped down and considering a 30-06 isn't that much recoil...But I definitely think there could be some hazards there, especially when you start getting into the larger calibers. Excellent comment👍

With them installed, I can only spin the levers to from 3:00 to 12:00 and can’t go any further without assistance of pliers or the like. Something definitely doesn’t seem right. The posts don’t go in and out of the holes nicely either because of the slight misalignment I think of the slot drilled into the lever rod. Contacted Torre and they offered to take them back and “adjust” them and cover shipping costs so we’ll see what that yields.

    I love irons, but frankly gave up on em as my go-to when I couldn’t find my sights, despite being fiber optics, at first shooting light and missed an opportunity. These days, I run a Leupold 2.5x fixed power, got it just before they were discontinued. Just enough magnification for the farthest I’m likely to shoot, but not too much to where I can’t get a running shot at 30 yards, plus it’s light, tough, and great brightness.
