Scoping my .45-70 Sharps

[Don McDowell]

I took a cotter pin that was the right size to go thru the front slot of the DZ mounts and clamped it between the ears on the Leatherwood scope ring. It works fairly well, but it doesn't return to zero quite the same each time.It's close enough for close range stuff, but when the distances get much past 300 yds there's just to much slop in that set up.
Hopefully that new front slide ring DZ is making will be just the ticket. Guess I need to get ahold of him and get my name in the pot for one of them.
Tried Parsons , but they were busy moving locations last year, and we never quite got caught up with each other...

Re: scope mounts for Sharps.

Q. Round barrel or hex?

If you have screw holes for barrel sights you might try a universal Pic'y rail and a Red Dot
just to find out if you want to pursue it further.

Alternately, Duc Tape.

I found the vertical adjuster for the Malcolm scope at Wayfair For less then $40.
Their price for the part is, Way fair, but they got me on the shipping.
Over $8 for a UPS package. They could have sent it USPS for less then $2.
Still cheaper than anyone else.

The scope bases that DZ,BACO and Brownells are concave on the bottom so they work either on flat or round surface.
