scope question
I just bought a Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in 45/70...the sights are ok, but with my eye sight getting older I was wondering if a scope wouldn't be benificial...any thoughts and what type of scope..make model etc..

I came across a 6.5-20x50AO Leupold scope, in excellent condition. It is late 70's or early 80's production. What's it worth?[?] 0 -
I would go with the tried and true VXII. 0 -
I own and use all three and don't think there is a wrong answer between them. My personal preference would be the Burris, followed closely by Leupold, then Nikon. I do recommend the Burris Signature rings for which ever scope you choose. 0 -

looking at nikon buckmaster, leupold vari-x or burris fullfield any opinions of these. thinking of buying one for a heavy recoiling rifle. all seem to be within the same price range. will not be shooting this much and no expensive hunting trips in the near future. please don't tell me about the high end range of scopes, i know they are much better, i just can't afford one of those at this time.
Just FYI, in the interest of maybe saving a $$$ more - the Leupold Rifleman, Nikon Prostaff and Burris Timberline are each company's "economy" line and each is very good. I don't know which magnification you're looking for or features like an AO, but these tend to have fixed 4X and variables in 2 to 7X up to 4 to 12X.
SWFA has a samples/demo page with good pricing, Natchez sells lots of refurbished too.0 -
I use all three of those, plus the Sightron SII series, interchangably. I have not had any problems, with any of them, but the early first version of the Buckmaster.
