Plain Ole 4X scope?

[ancjr]

I have a Simmons 4X that I had listed for several months in the classifieds and there were no bites...

What about this 3X micro prism?

I believe you should look into shotgun scopes.

Leupold still makes a very light and compact 2.5x fixed, and a couple remaining models of 1.5-4x that are under 10oz. Both around $300. More of a mini LPVO than vintage look, but would be very suited to a 30-30.

I love the Leupold Freedom 1.5 to 4X. Small and light. Not bulky or too tactical looking. It would fit your wants I think. Got mine for about $230

And if you don't end up liking it, Leupold is going to be a bit easier to sell than some other optics.

Most people set their variable scopes at 3 or 4 and leave them there.
I like fixed scopes and I also like the European/german reticle

I put a Leupold VX- Freedom 1.5-4x20mm on my Marlin 30-30. I chose the Pig-Plex reticle.

Cool site. Why don't I ever think of things like this.

Banner on a .44 I used to have. Worked fine but ocular was a bit large. Lever gun not a problem, can be on some bolt guns ( like a Ruger 7744 ).

I have a 1959 Remington 740 that I plan to mount a Weaver K4 60-B on in the next couple of weeks. I will be buying that scope setup from Vintage Gun Scopes. I have been watching them for over a year and am now more convinced than ever they are the way to go based on reviews elsewhere and posts in this thread.

EDIT: Scope is on the way. I called them on the phone (old fashioned, I know) to ask about a base for the rifle that they did not list on their website. The gentleman gave me a great package deal so I went ahead and bought it.

Scope arrived today!

Late 50s Weaver K4 60-B Crosshair scope (refurbished), Weaver 1" steel large thumbscrew detachable rings (grade excellent near mint), Weaver #62 detachable top mount bases (NOS). To my door 372 and a half beans. Glass is clear and bright, adjustments turn easily, good bluing, no major scars on tube.


I could not be happier. So glad I didn't pick up any of the ones I was watching on eBay even though they were about 1/3 the cost (this one has a warranty). I cannot wait to get it out and zero it.
