So, would you buy a scope for a Marlin lever action 30/30? I may be able to convince them that they don't need a scope for it.
How many of you have a scope on yours? If you use it for hunting, I can see the benefit of having a scope to be sure you're making an ethical kill, but then how far are you shooting a deer with a 30/30?
If they DO [still] want a scope, what would be a good quality, lower cost, able to stand up to the recoil type of scope? Would be purchasing it at Bass Pro. They have $30 is rewards points to spend by the end of the month.
