it is a vintage setup since this is one of the early, vintage Zeiss night vision scopes...... i am so tickled 
but go ahead and tell me what you think.......
wonder if the SASS cowboy action guys would allow for a night time shootout scenario??

yes, you are right i suspect.
and ejection would be a problem .....
: ) i just propped the gun up next to the scope [ it is resting on a pack of chewing gum to hold it level ]
just feeling devilish and seeing the reaction

With MO's antler point crap, that's the new 'traditional'...

Go ahead and put a screw in the bottom of the lever to trip the trigger when you close it. Them hawgs take some fast shootin' when they come at ya in the dark.
