I've always used open sights or 1x red dot scopes but I'm thinking my old eyes might benefit from some magnification.
I've been thinking about getting a Leupold VX-1 2-7 powered scope for hog and deer hunting.
I would be using it on a Marlin/Glenfield 30-30 for now but would probably move it to an AR build at some point.
I'm not looking to be shooting at game past 300 yards.
So what does an old phart need to know about mounting and using a powered scope?
