I have a Marlin 45-70 XLR and I'm looking to get a scope for the thing. I've been looking around the net, and I'm no further ahead than when I initially started.

I'm not looking for crazy magnification, something low powered will fit the bill nicely, seeing as it's a 100-150 yard gun anyway for what I'm aiming to accomplish with it, deer and moose.

Anyone have any experience with this gun/calibre and a good scope set up that will work effectively?

Thanks a lot for the input guys!
 
I looked at the Leupold site, I'm guessing that'd be a 4x 20? Where do people usually buy their optics? Until now I've been using just cheap scopes on my rimfire that you can pick up anywhere, and the irons just aren't doing it anymore for me on the .45 now that I'm beginning to reload.
 
I have a fixed 2.5x20mm Leupold FXII ultralight on my Guide rifle. Nice little scope and perfect for anything up to 200 yards. Plus it can take the recoil and offers close to 5" of eye relief..:). I'm not sure if Leupold still offers that scope or not....???
