You don't need a scope on lever action 30-30s. Put on a receiver
(peep) sight. Your eye automatically finds the center and you are tracking what you want to shoot with the front sight. As good as a scope to 200 yards and probably faster. I am an old target shooter and those receiver sights are the secret solution to old eyes. I have only taken 1 deer with the 30-30, but it was dead on the shot. Tried to run by me at about 75 yards.
