Default RE: Best scope for a 30-30?

ORIGINAL: Wolf 359

Well, I won't be able to get one right away, but I'll be willing to pay $200 for a good scope. So... yeah. That's my limit for a 30-30, price wise.
I have hunted with a 30 -30 and I would never go less than a 3-9x40. Too many times I have wanted to be able to turn the scope up to look a buck over to determine its age and / or size ( body and rack ). If you get a 3-9, you dont have to turn it up to 9x, but you can if you want. If you get one that is only 5 or 7x, you cant turn it up if you wanted to. With leverevolution ammo, you can take deer out to 250 yards. Everyone has their own opinion and likes and dislikes, but when folks say that you shouldn't do this or that, it means that they wouldn't. But if you like it, there is nothing wrong with that... Like I said, I would go with a 3-9 minimum .... and would consider a 4-12x.

As far as brands go, I would consider a Nikon or Burris....in that price range.

There are several good quality scopes to be had for about 200.00, but these are the ones I would choose from.

Hope this helps...
