I am looking to scope a couple Marlins. My eyes are going to the crapper...and out at 100 yards the front sight covers the bullseye! So I need a scope. I want a well balanced scope so it would probably be in the 4x range or the 2-7. I may have to sell a scope to do this cuz I have some laying around not being used. Would a Leupy 2.5-8 look okay? What bases do you use for your Marlins?

I have three Marlins, 444, 45-70 and 30-30. Would prefer to get a matte black (is Gloss better looking?) even though I have a stainless 336.

If you have pics post them up.

Thanks.
