I have a BLR Takedown in 308 Win with Leupold 2-7. It is okay. I got it as a woods rifle for backpack hunts in the Northeast. I wanted some magnification for open woods or beaver meadows. It is not a great shooter though (maybe user error) so I don't think I would shoot beyond 150 yards with it. I have thought about putting a red dot reflex sight on it in case I jump a deer/bear while tracking. I'd imagine a 2-3 moa dot would be fine for hunting out to at least 100. It would be weird looking having a red dot on a lever gun but I might do it anyway.
