I wouldn't want to see scopes legal either, but wouldn't mind if they lifted the open breech rule. But then again my bighorn shoots so well I don't think I would switch to a crack open style ML anyhow. Anyone with a bighorn looking for a new round to shoot should try a 300 grain barnes mz expander with 110 grains of powder. I have played with lots of combos and nothing flies through my rifle like that does.
