Marlin 30-30...To scope or not to scope?

[Ogg]

Another vote for a low power, low mounted, small objective (32mm, 2-4x is about perfect) scope. Keeps the weight low and doesn't mess too much with the ability to acquire your target while improving your chances @ shot placement. If you feel strongly, use quick detach rings so you can pop it off and shoot the irons if the mood strikes you.

I use mine as a 150 yard or less gun. Deep cover and heavy brush its great. I voted no glass, but thats just my opinion. Its all about your needs. Good Luck..

Ive always scoped my .30.30's.Have a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 on mine now. Nowadays its due to my old eyes lol I just like having optics, have them on all my rifles.....even my .22

Glass of peep sight for sure. I hate those retarded ass notch/blade sights. Whose stupid ****ing idea was that in the first place?

By all means keep it classy. Get yourself one of the wonderful Skinner Sights
If you cant hit the vitals at 100 yards with a peep, you aren't that good of a shot.

marlin makes a very accurate levergun. with iron sights you can hit a pie plate consistantly at 100 yards. with good glass, you can hit your bullet holes.

I have an old weaver 2-7x scope on my standard length 336 and my 16" barreled one is open sights....just something feels good about hunting open sights
