Looking to replace my 4x Leupold on my Marlin 45-70. Don't care for the FX2 glass and 4x is just to much mag for my wants all the time.
I want a scope with the objective the same size as the tube. I want a variable 1ish to 4ish-5ish. I want something with 4ish inches of eye relief. Under $600. Something with a bold reticle. Ill does not matter either way to me. As of right now, the most fitting scope I can think of is the Leupold VX3 1.5-5x with bold dupelx. What other options can you guys think of. Thanks |

I definitely want the SS, just not for my 45-70. Don't need the big knobs for a close range hunting gun.
The 4200 would be perfect, if it were not for the eye relief. By the time I put a butler creek cap on it will be under 3 inches. Not enough on a heavy kicker. The minox looks nice, but it has the flared objective, so does not fit in my list of wants. Plus it has more magnification than I want. To much will make me want to shoot the 45-70 father than I should. |

I like that Weaver. It looks like it fits the bill.
