Trying to decide what kind of optic to put on this lever action. I like ffp mil scopes so was thinking like a 1 to 6 lpvo. What do you guys think?
What optic for this 3030

Welcome to LRH, and enjoy!
It's a very nice rig! I agree with FFP and 1-6 magnification. I recommend an illuminated version for those dark timber hunts. Good luck!

Good point. Didnt think about making sure it has illumination. Everything else i have already comes with it.
I had a response then I changed my thoughts and gave you a short response, then you said 200 an in. I'd go red dot with what you said. I'm a FFP guy but no need in those ranges and the red dot will be gtg if hunting/plinking. No need for FFP at that range. Enjoy the perks of 2nd if you go lpvo. I just ordered a NF in 2nd to my dismay for a 300 prc but know it will make the rifle more versatile for my do it all rig. 2x10 power for hunting. I tend to shoot 500-700 yards around 10 power anyways.

Yea I'm literally wanting this for walking around the woods with and possibly hunting out of a stand with. If I want to shoot long range I have plenty of other rifles for that
If you can find one,I like the Zeiss Diavari 1.5-6x42 or the Kahles Helia 1.5-6x42. I've picked mine up used. I see them come up in the $600-$750 range.

I know lever actions are primarily iron sites but with this one being more modern looking I'm wanting something that goes with it but still stays online with what it is

Shoot on that long range rig nothing less than 6x36x56.
Lol. Ok
Lpvo in 1x8 or 1x10 range. I just like a little more magnification than a 1x6.
Absolutely Illuminated!!
Best of luck

I like my Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 1-6 on my Henry model x 30-30. I can go down to 1x for up closer but also zoom in a little to shoot a deer or target at distance. It's better to have than not have and need or want.
