Re: OT - Best Holster - 1860 Army

I purchased a really nice leather holster for a great price from RUGER, and cut the bottom out of it . Now all of my ball and cap revolvers as well as the good old .44 mag fit great. The holster was designed for a single action revolver and the 1860 army fits close enough. That would be for open top...

Re: What scope on which rifle?

I gave up on putting scopes on my good ol, Guide Gun. I blew out 2 scopes,(3 x 9's). Now I just use the XSights Ghost Ring sights. At 100 yards I can hit targets the size of your fist. Thats good enough for me. But do believe the (1 x ?) would be the best to use because of the recoil.
