Appreciate the info. Pretty sure I will pick up one or two of the Weaver 2x8’s and might look for a good buy on the Vortex 1x6 or 2x8 and try one as well.
Thanks

7x is a lot for a 336. You might consider the Weaver V 1-3 with 4.13" eye relief and less obtrusive handling characteristics.


I have used the Viper for eight years and many deer on a 336 and it is perfect for me.

For what you describe, hands down I'd go with the Redield 2-7x33 with Accu-Range reticle.

Took advantage of Natchez 10% off sale and ordered a Weaver 2x8. Company is a PITA to deal with as they will not ship to Tennessee or Georgia so had to have my brother who lives in PA order it for me. I like the scope has a "plain" duplex reticle. Have no need for those weird crosshair lookin things.

What I do, and others have indicated that they follow suit, is use the top end for accuracy testing and the occasional long shot or shot I have to take through holes in the cover. At other times, my variables stay on the low setting for quick opportunities in close, where most of my chances occur.

Picked up one of those Weavers for just under$120 shipped, using a 20% off code; hedging my Hawke bet a little. Be interesting to see if the one I get is made in Japan or some other Asian place, not that I'm afraid of well-made products that originate elsewhere, particularly women.

Opinions are like [bleep], everybody has one. And here's mine. I say get a 3-9x40. It's got a larger objective, hence more light and 3x is a good setting to keep it on. Wide field of view and MORE light. And a VX-2 or equivalent is decent glass and won't break the bank. Yeah, maybe a tad heavier but unless you're trapsing about in the mountains the little bit of extra weight is probably imperceptible.

Vortex Viper have 3 holds zero and work better than any 2 X 7 or 2.5 X 8 Leupold, also the newer Redfield 2 X 7 works great with no issues.
