I am finalizing a deal on a Marlin CB in 45-70 and already I am planning on what accessories to get for it. I plan on hunting with it, but for fun I would like to try shoot at rocks and gongs “way out there.”
I have no intention of scoping this rifle, so could someone recommend a rear sight with plenty of vertical elevation for the longer range shots?
What about those flip-up "ladder" sights. Good/Bad?
I am not opposed to single loading rounds with longer "pointy" boolits at the range, so just how far can one shoot accurately with a Marlin CB?
