and put a 1.5-4.5x20 on it. that hubbel is out of place.
Would no doubt look better, but the gun may lose some of it's ugly credentials.
BTW, that Bushnell 4200 is very clear, great glass and good at dim light.
And, it's ugly....

I'm not a fan of scopes on lever guns.
That being said, if I really want to kill something, I use a scope.
So I understand scopes on lever guns for people that want to make their lever gun as effective as possible.
But, if I ever scope another lever gun, it will be with a scout scope.
In general, I'm not a fan of scout scopes . . . except in certain cases, one being lever guns.
And all that is just me.
I was always attracted to the Marlin SBL (Stainless Big Lever) with the XS rail. But I never could convince myself to pay for one. Lord knows what a "real" Marlin one goes for now.
Dirt Farmer, that gun is ugly. You need to take it out and ding it up a bit, Then it would be just as ugly, but somehow more "authentic." The thing is, Mr. Phil has a big head start, more days afield per year, and probably an easier environment, to naturally give a rifle that "authentic patina" I speak of.
