[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3071469, member: 43126"] I need advice from you experienced hunters, as most of my experience comes from shotguns. I have somewhat of a dilemma, I bought a 300 wm complete with a Nikon BDC 4.5-14 x 40, which is already sighted. Then I have a Redfield 3-9 x 50 that is not currently in use. I am wanting to put a scope on my Henry 45/70, for which I will eventually get a smaller (more useful to the shorter accuracy distance of the Henry) scope. I bought the Talley medium height rings that fit the Henry, so both would fit (after removing the iron sights). What is the opinion as to which one to put on the Henry? I guess the Nikon would see further with a narrower field of vision, and the Redfield has a wider view, with less distance? Don't laugh at me here (at least out loud, lol) I seriously am asking, since I have zero experience, much less knowledge of scopes. The only 2 times I hunted deer, I used an 8mm mauser with open sights, so other than the little tasco on my .22, that's extent of my experience. I want to use the best option for each rifle from the 2 scopes I have. If I have to take off the Nikon and resight both, I'm ok with that since I just want the best option. Any thoughts or opinions?
