Adjam5 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I am looking to put some new glass on my Marlin 336. I had a cheap Simmons on it. I took it out this weekend to see if it is still on and it was all over the place. Being that it is a 30/30 and would not shoot over 100 yards with it. Variable power is not needed, but might be a welcome addition so I can leave the binocs home. I'm thinking a 2-7x32 or 40. Any suggestions for a new scope? Thanks in advance.

dbHunterNY Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 All my guns except one where Nikon glass. The first gun I hunted with and shot a deer with was my dad's win model 94 in 30/30. My brother used it after me. It had a Tasco Pronghorn 3-9x32 on it and still does. We've had no issues. Another is a Bushnell Banner. Anymore toward $100 and you should start looking at Redfield and then after that you'd be able to pick up a Nikon.

Adjam5 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I saw the Bushnell XLT in 1.5-7x40 at Natchezz shooting supplies for like $139. I am considering that one. I would like to consider a Nikon but have not seen any below 200 and better. I have a Redfield 3-9x50 new in box, but it is a bit big for the lever gun . Gonna give Redfield another look. They Leupold after all. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 If I can ever find a Browning 300 WSM that I want, I am putting a Bushnell DOA 4-12 40mm on it. DOA is for dead on accurate .... they have the 100, 200, 300 and 400 yard crosshairs in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntinsonovagun Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I just bought a 3-9x40 Burris FFII NIB for $141. The glass is almost identical to my Nikon Buckmaster, if not slightly better. Big Supply Shop is where I ordered it. Definatly better glass than a Prostaff, at the same price. I'll buy another eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thanks for all the suggestions....I purchased a Redfield 2-7x33 4plex scope. This is going on a Marlin lever action in 30/30. I paid $148 with free Butler creek caps and free shipping. For all intents and purposes...it is a Leupold .
