Starting to look for a potential scope options for my very not long long range 35Rem. If I can squirrel away a dollar in the next year.
Are fixed 2.5x or 4x scopes completely a thing of the past now and I am stuck in the used market? Everything available even compact scopes seem to have large ocular bells or are very tactical which is not what I want on my Dads 336 from '64.
My eyes stink and I can't see the irons in the woods.
 
I feel your pain, but don't overlook those old Leopold scopes. Most of the really old ones are great glass, and can be found fairly cheap on EBay or gun broker. And of course when you find one you can send it in to Leopold and have them go through it and make sure everything works perfectly.
 
I have an leupold fixed 6 on an 450 marlin I was gifted. And on another 450 marlin I have a 2-7 burris scout scope I like both of those set ups.
Another option may be to go with one of the loci out there.

Loci?

I had a bolt scout rifle set up in the past when I was mainly woods hunting in VA mountains. I never could get used to the set up and sold the whole rig.
