So most of my shooting life has been spent peering down iron sights, however now that my eyes have started to go I figured I'd better jump into a few optics.
Sadly, the only optics I have ever purchased have been for .22 plinkers, and I am hopelessly lost in the world of scopes.
I am currently looking into scoping my Marlin lever 30-30 and could use a bit of help in picking out a scope that won't break the bank, and will hold true.
A few friends suggested I look into a plain 4x scope, and I have hunted around a bit, but honestly I have no idea what I'm really looking for.
I am NOT planing on using a whole hell of a lot of the Hornady Leverevolution ammo as I am planning on knocking down deer around 100 yrds and don't need to really reach out to 300 yrds with my 30-30 (not sure if that helps at all).
Any and all advice/suggestions is/are greatly appreciated....
