The only rail mount scopes I have any experience with are the antique "prism" style with claw mounts. I believe a rail system like this is superior to a ring but not very common in the US.

The mounts pictured are no longer included in the sale but they would work if you had EAW bases designed to fit a model 70 Winchester.

I would say that if you can pick up any SXS muzzleloading shotgun in good condition for $300 you should. I really enjoyed using my Navy Arms on grouse when I got the chance.

I have an older VihtaVouri and Vectan reloading guide with data for the 6.5x57. My Norma Vol2 does not list this cartridge. I would think that in the past Norma would have listed this cartridge so if one of you has that data I would appreciate if you would post it. Thanks!

After the "Bay of Pigs" fiasco Cuba was convinced that the US would invade. The Cuban take is those missiles would deter any future attempts by the US to do so.

That scope has only been to the range a couple of times since so that is not much of a test. I like it enough that I bought a second one for a future project. Let us know your thoughts good or bad after you have a little time with it. A while back I went to the range and I wanted to get three...
