Well guys, I found a old tasco scope in my gun case, I was going to ordr the mount for it but I held off and i will save a little longer for a Leupold rifleman scope. I figure a rifle like this deserves good glass.
IMO the Leupold Rifleman (or VX-I for that matter) are horrible, the glass is terrible and they aren't particularly durable either...most of all they are just a bad value. The only good news is they have outstanding customer service. I would suggest a different make for a similar price. The best optics for the money right now are the Discontinued models in the Vortex Viper series, but if you miss out the Vortex Diamondback series scopes aren't bad either (easily the best scope in its price range). Either way, Vortex has great CS just like Leupold.
I found out I will have to get work done to the bolt and get it drilled and tapped. Screw that, Ill keep it as is and use it for target. Just a excuse for me to buy another rifle
Amen! That is what is was created for to begin with. A Marlin XL-7 in .30-06Spd. (or XS-7 in 7mm-08Rem) would be a good platform for a dedicated deer gun at little expense.
