    That pretty much says it all. Looking to put a scout scope on a Marlin .44. I've never used a scout scope before. What should I look for? What should I avoid?

    Pros/Cons?

    Any advice is appreciated

    This is the best scout scope for the money that I have found for my Rossi 92 .44 Mag. I have loaded it up to max with 300 grain bullets and plenty of H110 and it never blinked. I have tried others but this has excellent eye relief for the lever action rifle.

    I have a question for you. Isn't your Marlin drilled and tapped on the receiver? If so, why do you want a scout set up?

    I have a Leupold FX-II on a Garand using an Ultimak scout mount. The scope holds up very well to the battering of 168 grain 30-06 rounds, better than my shoulder does.

    Thanks for the feedback, guys.


    Yeah, Allen, it's hard to go wrong with Leupold. I'll check that one out.

    John, I don't see what scope you are talking about. Is there an image or something I am not getting?

    And the reason I am going with a scout scope is because the rifle is being converted into a takedown.
