I have a Lyman deerstalker & my eyesight has gotten me to the point of having a scope on my flint, with a special permit! I took mine to a very good gunsmith & mounted an older 2x7 Redfield on it. It shoots great groups at a 100 yds. First time I took it out, shot a deer at 80yds dropped in 35yds. Would not hesitate to mount a scope on itView attachment 15533So my $100 has been drilled for scope mounts. Does anyone have experience with scopes & sidelocks. I'm not a qualified gunsmith and I am very wary when people drill into barrels. I get that black powder pressures are lower than smokeless but does anyone here have their sidelock drilled and tapped for a scope?
