I have never used a scope and know absolutly nothing about what kind is
best for what.

I've got a Marlin 30-30 that is set up for a scope. What brand and
power would be best for deer hunting.

The choices are endless! Scopes are one item that I believe you actually get what you pay for. Some may disagree but that's been my experience. I have used...	jeff loveless jlove@...	Jun 7, 2008 5:19 pm
Actually, I have had some bad scopes -- mostly el-cheapos that were on the rifle when I bought it. I switched them out for Burris and Leupold. ... From:...	Vernon Humphrey vernhumphrey...	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm
I like Burris, Nikon and Leupold. Forget all the fancy Madison Avenue spin about glass, power, and so on -- you want reliability in a scope. Two to four power...	Vernon Humphrey vernhumphrey...	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm
4 power, is what has always been recommended. I have a Weaver 4X that I put on my Marlin 336 in 1958, and is still doing just fine for me. ... From: magiver71...	Jay Nottingham kd5yxwhm	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm

~~~PERSONAL OPINION~~~ On my old marlin 336, I have a 4x fixed scope that I like. On bolt guns, I like 3-9x scopes. Cheap scopes work fine in the hilly areas...	edwardscorp2000	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm
... I'd say it depends on how much you're going to want to spend, and where you'll be hunting (in the deep woods or in the open). A fixed power might be good...	John holyscamolli	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm
To me, leverguns don't look right with optics. But I understand the practical nature for older eyes and for lower light conditions. For most Arkansas hunting,...	Todd Flagg todd_flagg	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm
A 3-9X variable power scope is the standard. Start with an inexpensive scope like a $30 Bushnell or Tasco to see if you like using a scope. You may not. If...	Andy Lowry hank_walters	Jun 7, 2008 10:09 pm
