I have a Marlin XL7 in 30.06 that I am looking for advice on. Right now it has some unknown scope that came on it when I bought it, the only thing written on the scope is 3-9x40 and honestly the scope is horrible, but has worked and I haven't had the money to buy anything better. I now have some money and was looking for some advice, with the scopes on sale from Sightron. This is a hunting rifle for whitetail in MO and elk/deer in ID and CO. I like target shooting a lot, but don't have much time or money to shoot as much as I'd like to as I'm only 18 and starting college in January. Option 1: Sightron SI 3-9x40 with #4 reticle plus Boyd's stock and accu bedding the new stock. Total cost: $264 Option 2: Sightron SII Big Sky 4-16x42. Total cost after rebate: $290. Which option would you choose and why? |

The glass in the BS will be much better than the SI. I"d go with it and then maybe down the road look for a different stock. |
