Check out my fathers day present
OK, so it's not a new bow, I admit it I swap my bow for a rifle when firearms season opens, but it is for deer hunting none the less. She sure is pretty though, all stainless steel and walnut.What do you all think, should the optics and mounts be blued or silver?

RE: Check out my fathers day present
You must be one heck of a dad to get that for a present. Nice rifle.
|
RE: Check out my fathers day present
Maybe the first gun thread I've ever replied to, 'cause it's probably the best looking gun I've ever seen.
Congrats. p.s. - You're gonna change all that if you add optics.:D |
RE: Check out my fathers day present
That rifle is not meant for optics, it is perfect as is. I am jealous.

RE: Check out my fathers day present
That's a nice looking Lever Action, is it a 30-30 or some other odd-ball cartridge???
|
RE: Check out my fathers day present
Nice rifle, I would go with all stainless scope and a tip-off mount with that rifle. The tip-off will allow you to shoot open sight at your normall shooting range while the scope will allow you to shoot a little farther out with it. Also with the tip-off you can tip the scope out of the way if shooting at a running deer. It is really hard to get a scope on a running deer. Good luck with what you decide to do.

Sweet!
Congrats!! Dan |
RE: Check out my fathers day present
Purdy! Is it a Marlin 336 by chance?
|
RE: Check out my fathers day present
The tip-off ( in stainless) would be my suggetstion too if you really want a scope. Just have to make sure you re-seat it completely any time you flip it over - one of my hunting buddies could tell you what happens if you don't[:@]

RE: Check out my fathers day present
Nice looking rifle, I have one like that but it is alot older.
|
RE: Check out my fathers day present
I gotta say, I'm very jealous right now, beautiful rifle man.

RE: Check out my fathers day present
Nice looking rifle.
I would go with black mounts and a black scope (if you HAVE to put a scope on it) Just can't get my head around silver scopes to me they just never look right for some reason. |
RE: Check out my fathers day present
The leverevolution shells are great for that gun. I would use a silver scope.
|
RE: Check out my fathers day present
I'd say the 336 is plenty accurate without a scope - but if you're going to be using the new Hornaday loads, you almost have to have a scope to get the full benefit of the new range capabilities.

RE: Check out my fathers day present
I definately have to put a scope on it, my bi-focals don't handle iron sights very well. I just keep going back and forth on the color, asilver scope would match but the iron sights that Marlin put on the gun are blued and they contrast well. I'm sure that price will play a big part in my decision, at least for this year. I'm thinking about finding something that'll also work good on my 870 for turkeys and hogs. I'll put it on the 30-30 for this upcoming season then put it on the 870 by next spring for turkeys. That'll give me until October 2010 to save up fora quality scope. Well that's my plan at least, after spending the extra money for the stainless gun I don't dare ask for a good scope this year. I figure by 2011 that Hoyt will have the alphamax shooting about 400 fps with a 50# draw, then I'll get a new bow.

I have a feeling that a silver scope may look a little off, compared to the stainless on the action and barrel - the scope just may not be bright enough. Just a thought. |
