what mounts did you try? biggest issue for SR and a scope is mount height. i'm on my 3rd mount myself (and i dont even shoot SR full time anymore)...the vortex / larue mounts are too tall (1.5")...they'll work ok for standing and sitting, but WAY too high for prone, especially if you're running an A2 stock. I had good luck with the Keystone A5 mount (1.3"), and recently picked up one of Gieselle's "super-precision" NM mounts (also 1.3")
I also had issues with the scope initially, but unfortunately for me, it appears to be the reticle moving around in the scope (its going back to vortex for a check up)....have someone else shoot your rifle and make sure POI isnt shifting shot to shot (i was having 1.5-2.5moa swings)
I think the 4.5x scopes are removing the "seeing" game from the equation. I appreciate that, in my mid 50s I am not going to win any seeing competitions. I'm actually going to compete in XTC for the first time this yr, in large part because I can use an optic.
As to the "old school" crowd, most of today's "old school" crowd don't shoot wood guns, and even for those guys, they need to remember that once upon a time the 45-70 was a service rifle (in fact it was the first US military rifle cartridge), and I don't think they want to get that old school, but if they do I have something for them. Oh yea, and there were optics even back then. (I just had a mental image of someone doing rapids with a 45-70 loaded with the Holy Black)
