I have recently purchased a Marlin XL7 .30-.06 and now am lookin for a scope. I have been lookin at a Redfield, but any other suggestions will be much considered.
Best scope for $1-200? Well IMO
1) Burris FFll
2) Nikon Buckmaster
3) Leupold VX-ll/ or Nikon Prostaf
There are Many other opinions on this subject, but these are my choices for an inexpensive($1-200) scope based on experience. Upgrades when $ alows are nice, but at least you have (quality/affordable) optics in the meantime. Good luck
