You could always use black electricians tape, I know that works. If they made a camo electricians tape that's what I'd use. Need to find some myself!Hatchet Jack said:
I use black electrical tape. With a little work you can completely cover everything and hardly notice there is anything on the scope - assuming its not a silver scope :lol:toytruck said:
Funny you should mention that. I have an old boot tongue that I cut out of a boot I was recycling, that I use at the range. Had to cut out a square slot for the scope mount post, but it works and protects.Batchief909 said:
Thanks for the photos! Looks like it works pretty good to protect the scope. In retrospect, I spoke with Marlowe Richards (White Muzzleloading) yesterday about a new Bison rifle. Sent him the deposit funds today in mail and going to have him drill and tap 4 holes far enough up the barrel to mount an EER (scout style) scope without any blowback interference from the #11 cap and powder. He’s also going to drill me two holes behind the bolt on .860 centers for the Skinner 860 peep and cut me a 3/8” dovetail near the muzzle for a fiber optic front sight. Then I can use two Weaver #11 bases and QR scope rings to easily go between iron and scope sights. Sort of the best of both worlds. Looking forward to getting the rifle in a few months and using it this fall in CO for a cow elk hunt. Also ordering the replaceable nipple breech plug from Bestill Creations for the Bison. He recommends teflon tape for the breech plug in lieu of the Bblue Molly for easy removal of the plug. Who’de of thunk it! But it makes good sense when ya think about it. I am definitely gonna give it a try on my Whitetail.
Good luck finding the Lyman! No inventory anywhere that I cn find
Lots of Lyman 57SMEs on Gunbroker and eBay lately
