Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions Perfect scope for 336RC 35rem?

I have one 336 with a Denver Redfield 4X with a post/crosshair reticle and a second one with an El Paso Weaver V4.5 1.5X4.5 with duplex reticle and tv view ocular lens. Both mounted in Weaver Pivot mounts with low rings.

A Denver Redfield Widefield 1.75X5 or a Redfield Lo Pro Widefield 2X7 with either a duplex or post/crosshair are also nice options. Just avoid the "tapered" reticle in the older Redfields, they are very difficult to see in low light situations.

However if you still hunt in situations where you'll jump a buck and only have a split second to get off a shot, then the Leupold Vari X III in 1.5X5 trumps all of them. It has a wide field of view at 1.5 and the most "useable" eyebox of any scope around in my opinion.
