Am rescoping my Marlin 336. You purists can jump up and down and shake your fists and scream about iron sights and peep sights. I'm still scoping it.
Have decided on a Leupold VX-II in 1-4x20. The compact scope should keep point of balance pretty much the same and should enable me to get the scope down low. 4X should be plenty of magnification. I plan to use this rifle as a woods/brush gun where the longest shot is probably going to be 50 yards.
That Leupold comes in Duplex or Wide Duplex reticle. Leupold bills this last reticle as having a "larger center gate for lightning fast target acquisition, even on a moving target" and as "ideal for picking targets from heavy brush or timber".The two reticles are all that different, but given my intended use of the gun, I'm leaning toward the Wide Duplex.
Anyone use/like this particular reticle style?
