Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk What optic on your Marlin?

Steve: Who carries them in Canada? All I can find here in Alberta are the VX line. Local shop won't even consider ordering anything FX. I would like to put one on my Marlin 1894. Should be perfect on a 44mag. They look like they were made for the Marlin leverguns, nice lines that won't add much bulk to a trim rifle.
Much as I dislike the idea of scoping a lever gun, I'm getting old.........sights are a bit blurry now and again and it isn't from the Glenfiddich.

I like the idea of this scope as well. They're listed at Wholesale Sports.

Frontier Firearms drop ships them, but they are listed on their site.

Clay at Prophet River will get them as well. He carries the FX line.

I just put a Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 scope on my 336. I have only boresighted it so far. It seems to be really nice for the money and for the application. I mounted it with a Weaver 63b base and low Leupold rifleman rings.

Stave, Thanks for the info. I knew WS listed them in the cat but they never seem to have them in stock. I'll try Clay @ Prophet River as he is just few hours away. Go by there when I head to Cold Lake fishing.

try to find a burris compact in 4x, the older one, not the timberline

That is, in my opinion, the perfect choice. A very close second is the Nikon of the same configuration.
