Just picked up the new Marlin 444 and now I would like to dress her up with a piece of glass
Thoughts on the Nikon 1.65x5x32 good and bad.
I have Leupolds on all my bolt actions but not looking to break the bank on the glass
Thanks

I was looking in the Cabela's catalog the other day and they have some "Cabelas" brand scopes set up for these rifles. They give you a crosshair at 100 / 200 / 300 yards but you have to use the Lever Evolution ammo from what I got out of it (must be a little hotter????)....price was only $100. Might be kinda interesting to turn that 444 into a 300yd rifle
They are a 3-9x so your really low end isn't there though.
I've never used the particular Nikon you are talking about I've liked the ones I've tryed so I would say it will probably do the trick. I've got a 2-7 bushnell 3200 that has been a good scope for the money. Maby not as bright glass as some of the nikons but very tough. I have put it through hell and its taken some nasty bangs and never needed to be re-sighted.
you have leupold on all your other guns, obviously for a reason.
why fix what ain't broke. it's always cheaper to do it right the first time.
vxIII - 1.5x5, straight tube, lots of field of view, lots of scope for the caliber.
bolt her on and go kill stuff, lee.

I agree with duceman, Leupold also has the VXII 1-4x20 which shouldn't break the bank. On the lever guns, I prefer the smaller tube 20mm. It seems to fit better. There is the gunshow coming up on the 16th, who knows you might be able to find a good used one there. There are limitations as to who makes them, I know Leupold, Burris and maybe even look for an older B&L. The B&L Balvar is on my .444
