AH elite
i purchased the rifle new from euro optics. The rifle functions perfectly, BUT here is the issue. The iron sights shoot low even when moved up to max elevation. I purchased a shorter front sight and it is still low. I bought the rifle to shoot specifically with iron sights so it is of no use to me. With a scope it is a fine shooter, that is just not what i was interested in. I spoke with Tom Leoni and it seems the iron sights were regulated for the 303 model and then they just stuck those same ones on the 45/70.
It is a beautiful and handy little rifle but it does not fit my needs. I also added a marbles tang sight. The screw for the tang sight Is a little roughed up, but that is not the factory screw for the rifle. I have it and it is in perfect condition, and if you wish you can order a replacement screw set from Midway for about $8.
The gun cost me $1600 plus shipping and the marble sight was $127 all together if I remember correctly
$1200 OBO takes it all shipped. I have some other stuff to go along with it if interested. Bullets and brass and such if you need it, we can discuss that.
