[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 790131, member: 34084"] Those Marlins are nice rifles for the price. As with all entry level production rifles, the accuracy is hit or miss sometimes, and boresight alignment between the barrel and rings can be off bit. With handloads, you could easily end up with a good shooter. I've spent a lot of time with all the Burris E1 scopes. They have low glare, high contrast, and good edge-to-edge resolution for the price, and that is important for hunting. The turrets are easy to dial with the covers off. These scopes hold zero well and have low weight. Burris warranty and customer service is also quite good (although I've never had to use it). The E1 reticle is easy to calibrate to your load by simply turning down the magnification a bit. 3-9X is a bit low for target shooting. I would recommend you spend the extra $50 for the 4.5-14X model. You now have the choice of 1" or 30 mm tubes. The 30 mm tubes provide more elevation adjustment but cost more. I'm on travel right now and don't have all the prices in front of me. For a non-illuminated scope, there isn't much out there that beats the E1 series in value. You can tell I really like the E1 scopes and I use them on some of my rifles. More often than not, it's what I recommend for a hunting scope in that price range. [B][I]HighPower[/I][/B]Optics has them in stock, as well as all the Burris rings. Some of the new Burris stock is not on the website yet. We can set you up with 5% off coupon. PM me if you're interested or if you don't see something on the website. [/QUOTE]
