My eyes are going. I would like to put a 4x32 scope on the 30-30. I have considered Alpen, Konus, Bushnell and Sightron.

Considering this is not my primary rifle, I didn't really want to spend to much.

Any opinions on the few I have mentioned? Any others to consider?

Thanks,

imo...a 30-30 is a flyin brick and is an iron sight gun..maybe a 1X

I would go with the Bushnell of those listed but take a look at the Redfield Revolution 2-7 for 130 bucks.IMO best bang for the buck in low cost scopes.

Got any gun shows in your area coming up? Usually a good source for used stuff at half-decent price... I've bought used scopes at these events and not been disappointed. I guess my point here is you can probably get a good, high-end quality scope for a lot less than you'd pay new or used in a gun store. Check it out. Gun Digest magazine lists upcoming shows all across the country, when, where, etc.., near the back of the publication. I use it often.

My favorite for 30-30, and all sub 100yard guns is the 1.5-5X20 Leupold Vari-X III or equivalent.

Sub 100yd guns?I'd be happy as a pig'n poo with that scope on ANY gun !

Your correct, not too many people need any more than5X hunting up to 300 yards.

I know that up to about 150 yards I am finding out that I am more accurate keeping my variable scopes at 5X and under. I am finding that it is easier to keep concentrated on the target. When hunting I just keep them set at 4X anyways.

I have a Nikon 3x9x40 on my 30-30.

I second bigcountry's choice. The Leupold VX-3 1x5 would be an outstanding scope for the 30:30.
