I'm jonesing.... But prepared for disappointment.

I think it is late 1950's. The finish is ok. There are ring marks from the Weaver rings. The glass is a little yellow but as expected from a scope this old, but clear enough to see. Adjustments work and it looks to track as it should, crosshairs are not centered in the field of view in this...

If that base could clamp to a Picatinny rail.... The front sight night have to be really high, but not removing the base when switching between the scope and irons would be cool.

One thing that sucks on the Paramount is that although it takes Remington 700 scope bases, the side of the receiver where the receiver sight goes has the bolt release.

I had the rifle bull hunt in 2021. Feel free to PM.

Looks like some have ended up on eBay for a substantial markup.

They sell out immediately but have been in stock a few times in the last few weeks. Note that Vortex says limited distribution, not discontinued now. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-crossfire-ii-1x24-muzzleloader-riflescope.html

Vortex has brought back the 1X Crossfire. They have been in stock at Sportsman's Warehouse in the last few weeks and availability should get better.

Would sweating/soldering on the front ramp void the warranty? I would not trust epoxy like JB Weld, but it is a thought. There are also band type sights for shotguns and ARs on the market. Check out NECG. They make band ramp front sight bases in various barrel diameters and heights. They...

Does anyone know where to find the approved regulations while the modification period is still open?

I read somewhere that bucks who grow the absolute biggest antlers often are the ones who are not spending bunches of energy on fighting and breeding. I'm not sure how true that is. Also, does carry 1/2 the genes and maybe it's the few of them with the big rack gene who put out the exceptional...

It was before 2012.

I was told that the forest service had an agreement with the state to enforce state laws like that. The ranger took my information and I received the ticket in the mail. It has been a long time and I no longer have the ticket. It was easier to just pay the ticket than fight it since it was just...

It really doesn't matter, they are all mostly one tag hunts, and you can't guess the future. I'm just hoping to cash in on my 28 deer points on a Henry buck tag and hope at some point they will offer a second any bison tag there. I will have a pretty good chance with 27 bison points going in if...

If it is supposed to be a 50:50 split between max points and everyone, why not do a coin flip before the draw for one tag hunts to see which way the one tag goes on one tag hunts? Or they could alternate years between the tag direction?
