RE: Another scope question
 

Hey all I found a Leupold VX-11 2-7x33mm At Walmart for 184.93. This doesnt come with mounts, is it a good deal?

RE: Another scope question
 

Since you are on a budget, what about a fixed power scope? Likea 4x Bushnell or weaver. They should be less expensive than variable and good for out to 100 yards or so.

Hey all I decided to go with the Leupold 2-7x33mm With Simmonsrings and weaver base. I love it! Just mounted it today but have not bore sited it. I was killing tin cans at 25 yards, but I backed off to 40 and cant hit a 2 sq ft box. I know I will have to keepworking it. But I'm in love with my Leupold!

My son hunts with a 30-30 and we put a 4x weaver on it. It works great. A less expensive scope is the 4x Bushnell which I have on my ML. Works great in the bush and very inexpensive.

While i agree that a fixed scopemay be the best fit for a 30/30 I also think you simply can't go wrong with the one you bought as it will work just fine.The 2x7will allow you some wiggle room at the range and in the future if you ever deciede to add to your gun collection.

I think you did just dandy the VXII is a nice scope for under 200 smacks. Re:the mounts I personally would have opted for something a little more robust, along the lines of Leuy's or Warne but hey I understand the need to keep the budget in line as well. Best of luck
