I picked up another .30-30, Marlin 336Y Compact, and plan on setting it up for deer hunting. I will be installing an XS scout rail & peep sight combo which should give enough room either for a traditional scope or scout scope.
I am considering either a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x24mm V-brite (illuminated reticle) or a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32mm Scout scope.
Basically, which is more beneficial in your experience, higher magnification or illuminated reticle. Trying to keep the cost of the scope down around $250 or less. I have a fixed 2.75x Burris on a .357 lever for public land hunting and a low power variable on a CZ in 7.62x39mm for private land already. So this is really an extra.
