My brother has one on a Marlin 336 in 35 remington, nice black bear gun. He absolutly loves his and it draws great light. I used a Simmons 44mag on a REALLY hard kicking & rem mag, it shook to peices after 3 years,probably 150 rounds, i sent it back to Simmons and they sent me a brand new scope as replacement. I now have had it on my 30-30 for about 4 years and have had no problems. I dont have a prblem with them at all,for the price it is very hard to beat. You may also want to look at the new Tasco 3x9x44/50, a buddy of mine purchased one for his '06 and has been really pleased. Tasco's higher line stuff has alot better quality.
