Default RE: Bushnell Banner or simmons pro hunter?

should get the Bushnell Banner Dusk 'n Dawn 1.5-4.5 x 32 small scope for
it again. What do you think?

Butch,
I put that exact same scope on my Marlin this last year. I was wanting something smaller than my 3x9. At first, I did not know how I would like the circle reticle. I shot 3 deer with it this past year, and the circle reticle is almost like training wheels. I don't see how anyone could miss a deer with it. I think it is really a shotgun scope, and even though youmay notneed the 6 inch eye relief with the 30-30, it makes it quick to throw up and get on target.

I have a couple of other banners, and I have always known them to keep their zero. I think for the money, they do great. I like a scope in the woods because light can be a factor even in mid morning sometimes around here. I like being in the stand onthose dark dreary overcast days in thein thick woods.

Here is what the 1.5-4.5 x 32 looks like on my Marlin.
