Ditto... got one on mine and it has the BDC(?) reticle. Will put 2 in a ragged hole at 200yds... man I love that gun.

I just put a Nikon Omega on mine but haven't shot it yet. A prostaff is a great deal. A Leoupold Rifleman isn't bad either only prob is the windage adjustments are in 1/2 instead of 1/4 increments

+2. Great with the bdc for the 45/70. You can get a new one off of ebay for around $130 and sometimes less.
