Fist off, I am a peep sight guy. But PA now has antler point restrictions so you need to make sure the buck is legal. This has put me into mounting scopes on rifles that allow such.
I have a fixed 4x on a Marlin 1894SS and it does a nice job. I also have a Redfield 2-7x32. My only complaint on scopes is that under 2.5x I get the "ghost" image of the front sight. I also find that with a variable I seem to always be changing magnification based on where I am at in the woods.
