Guest GCBORNHUNTER Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I have a Winchester Model94AE .30-30 that I deer hunt with. What suggestions do you all have for a scope? I plan to mainly use the gun for deep woods stand hunting and deer drives. I've started shooting the Hornady LeverEvolution for more velocity and distance. I will be shooting the rifle up to 200 (may be 250 yards). What do you all recommend? I'm looking to spend below $250 and would like to stay below $200.

johnf Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Scope for .30-30 lever action? For that money, I would get the Nikon Monarch or Buckmaster. 3-9X40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HaDeRonDa Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Scope for .30-30 lever action? I have a Simmons 3-9 on my AE 30-30. I would go with a different brand if I had that cash but I would stay with the 3-9 for sure. No reason not to I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Scope for .30-30 lever action? My vote would go to Nikon as well. Don't think you'll find a Monarch for under $250...maybe even have a tough time finding a Buckmasters in that price range in a 3-9X40. Look at the Nikon Pro-staffs...cheaper dollar wise...but would hold up to your 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Scope for .30-30 lever action? I've seen the Monarch for less than $200 on ebay and the buckmaster for @$275. Wal-Mart has the Monarch for $199 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Scope for .30-30 lever action? Take a look at Nikon. The Pro-Staff models are very nice and not too pricy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Scope for .30-30 lever action? I put 3-9 leupold compacts on my Marlins and seemed like I paid around that per a scope,But it's been about 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a Nikon Monarch for $199...may want to snag one up...thats around $40 under dealer cost. Ebay is a different story...however, never know what you may get or what kind of "seller" your dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
