I am trying to select a scope for a pretty walnut stocked Marlin 880 I came across. My go to is usually the Meopta 2-10x42 AO for good reason but it’s a bit ugly for a classic rifle. On my synthetic Bergera BMR and Tikka t1x this isn’t an issue but Im looking for a classy look here. I was debating between the Leupold 3-9x33 EFR and the regular 2-7x33 rimfire. Some were saying that the eyebox on the 3-9 is very restrictive in comparison to the 2-7. I’d rather have the adjustable parallax on the EFR over the 60 yard fixed on the 2-7 though.

What are your thoughts? Can anybody speak from experience with these scopes? Is there a scope up to 500 dollars that I am missing? Ideally it would also be lightweight.

Thanks!!
