Scope For My 39A
Hello Again,
Upon hitting the range this weekend with my new-to-me 39A, I quickly came to realize that the Weaver V22-A scope that came with rifle did not work (neither cross-hairs moved when dialed).
I started to 'shop' around for a new scope, but as you know there are enough choices out there to make one's head spin, forwards and backwards.
So, if anyone has some suggestions, here are some of my parameters (in no particular order of priority):
1. Affordable - ~$100.00 or less (if possible), but would not be opposed to going a little higher for the 'right' scope though.
2. Magnification - 3-9X, or there-abouts.
3. 'Looks' - I would like to get something that has a vintage / tradition style to it.
4. Quality - Not sure if Affordable and Quality can be mentioned in the same sentence when specing a scope, but the scope would need to be functional in terms of a decently clear picture, holding zero, etc.
My primary use for this rifle is fair weather day-time range and plinking use, so I do not need to meet any mil-spec. Yes, and I do realize that you get what you pay for.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks in Advance
Best Regards,
Rob
P.S. - The actual shooting portion of the range trip was a mixed bag - had many smooth cycling and repeating rounds, and experienced many double-feeds / jams as well. I have a Cartridge Cutoff on order from Marlin. I still really enjoyed shooting my Marlin 39A!
