What scope is everyone running on the Marlins? I want to be able to shoot out at 200 but have fast target acquisition up close

200yrds with a 400 gr barnes buster? Better get a scope with turrets!! I'd feel perfectly safe with a 7 rem mag and 160 tsx! Your 7 is perfect for any critter you run in to out there. I like the marlin levers, I carry a 444 with 265gr FP hornadys while recreating in the field for anything but hunting. Id hunt with it to, but within its iron sight range of 50-150 yrds. Good luck on the moose draw, 2 points, 3 brow tines or 10 total points blows goats as a LEH, but at least you can still hunt moose?!! Moosin
