I bought a 35 rem. and need to get a scope for it , budget is $150. I will only be shooting 100 yards so some thing low power would be fine. Any suggestions would be great.

how does the crossfire or the gameseeker compare to the trophy. I really like the vortex warranty.

Don't have any experience with either.  Perhaps others can add.  The Trophy has Rainguard and Lifetime warranty along with a  1 year no questions asked replacement warranty.

I'd look real hard at this one.  It's better than  the Trophy and in your price range.  I had a similar scope on my 336 in .35 Rem. and it was just right.

The legend does look pretty nice and it is in my price range.  Does the trophy really have rainguard ?

Well, I know is out of your preferred price range but I would save up some more and go with this.

If you consider stretching the budget a little...the Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9x40 Firefly can be had for about $180

Hi Ngross10;
 
Why not look into XS sights for your marlin 336?

If you know how many guns you have you need to buy more

I was thinking of getting a peep style sight but the last 2 years the deer I have gotten I couldn't see with the naked eye, where I hunt it's thick and dark and I just happened to see some movement so I brung up my rifle and looked through  the scope and sure enough there was a deer , in fact it took me a while to make out if it had horns or not before I shot. the shooting lane if you could call it that is about 100 yards and the run that the deer walk is at the far end . So i need some thing to be able to see a lil better for dusk and dawn. I really don't think I want to put a 40mm on it thou, I think 32 is about the biggest I will go. I want to keep it lite and quick.
Thanks for all the input, I really don't know to much about scopes.

Go with a Bushnell Elite 3200 1.5-4.5x32 w/ firefly $169.95, that is a great scope especially for low light hunting
