I swiped a 3-9x40 scope from another rifle to use on my marlin 795 for an Appleseed shoot. It worked, but was overkill for 25 yards. I had better results at 4x than at 9x, due to having less visible wobble to distract me. That got me thinking that maybe I should look for a dedicated 4x scope for an optimized LTR. I figured I'd be able to find a good deal online, or better optics at the same price point in fixed, but I was wrong. It looks like a weaver 4k is over $120 new, which is pretty far into variable scope territory. Wouldn't you rather have a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 scope instead?

I'm going to a gun show next weekend, and if I can find a fixed scope for a good price I'll grab it. Otherwise, steer me in the right direction.
 
The Weaver K4 is a great choice, but I've got a Nikon 4X on my .30-30 Handi-rifle. Great little scope, good glass, it's as bright as it can be. The reason I chose it over the Weaver is that the dealer had one on the shelf and it was immediately available. Two years into the experiment and it's holding up nicely.
