Which scope for my Marlin GG in 45-70?

[Teapot]

I want to use my GG for hunting and have the ability to shoot out to at least 150-200 yards. What scope would be good for this?

I had a 1-3 weaver on mine. Cheaper than leupold worked fine.

Check the optics section, this exact topic has been covered many times.

No scope at all or you may get scoped!

I have a 1-4X Leupold on my Marlin 45-70.....with the 1X you can shoot close up with both eyes open and the 4X will do for the "long" shots...

1-4x20 VXI would be a good choice, or a Weaver V3 1-3x20. I had a Weaver V3 on a 416 Rem Mag and it held up well

Mine has worn a leupold 1-4x20mm for most of it's life, it never shifts zero, or gives me any grief. As was stated above on 1x its basically a real fancy peep sight and works great, at 4x it aids in picking out exact aiming points on game.

I have 4 marlins 2 of them wear Leupold VXIII 1.5-5X20mm and the other has a VXII 1-4X20. The 4th one has open sights.

Have you ever considered getting a scout style optic?

I like the 2-7 Leupold compact scopes for that kind of application...

go with a ghost ring. next is a red dot mounted scout style - next go wth the scout scope- leupold or Burris
