on a new gun. I live in Indiana, which has previously been a shotgun slug state. It looks as though beginning this Fall we will be allowed to hunt with rifles loaded with pistol bullets. Today I purchased a Model 1894 Marlin in .44 mag, a neat looking lever gun. I don't think my 57 year old eyes will allow me to be effective without a scope and expect shooting ranges up to 100 yards.. Recently, I won an 84 Kimber in .338 Federal and the members recommended a 2 x 7 Kahles which I purchase and really like. Your suggestions will be appreciated. |

love that gun. that's a freight train bullet.
the kahles would be a fine addition. or a 1.5-6x42 if you can swing it.
i just put a 4x40 fixed power - nikon monarch on my 30/30 marlin and it is a fine addition. no frills, solid performance.
very bright/clear and perfect for under 100 yard shooting.
let us know what you decide. good luck.
