I just purchased a marlin 45-70 (150-200yard deer gun) and want to scope it and driving myself nutz trying to figure out a scope. I have people saying Nikon 2-7, leupold 2-7 all the way to vx2, vortex 2-7, Nikon slug hunter/inline 3-9 (pretty short for a 3-9).
I've been doing a lot of reading and I see a lot of don't spend the vx2 money cause a Nikon prostaff is just as good and then there is the leupold or go home crowd. Id rather not spend the extra money if its not needed. mainly used in hardwoods and fields for whitetail hunting.
what do you guys run and why? looking for honest opinions and not just because leupold is well leupold.
