Looking to put this on a .35 Rem. What y'all think about it??

Those are nice little scopes, but the way the 36mm objective is and the mount location, the objective hit my rear sight on a Marlin 336, even with the sight folded down. Tried higher rings, but the cheek weld went to pot with that lever action stock. I went with a 1.5-5 Leupold with the 20mm straight tube. Low rings got it down where the cheek weld was good. 5X max magnification is plenty with the .30-30/.35 Rem class

Good info thanks.

I put a 2-7x32 vx freedom on a woods rifle set up a couple years ago and was very pleased

 

[kamml]

I have the same on my Marlin 35. can't go wrong on that choice.

 

[swd]

I have this combo on my 336, 35, as well as my 2 rifles in 350 legend.

Love them

I had that scope on a Marlin 1895M .450 Marlin with the XS rail. It had straight stock so I bought a stock pack to get my head up behind the scope. Perfect match for a lever gun.

I've got the 2x7 Leupold on min and it's plenty good.

 

[DaveTN]

I Have optics on all my rifles from various mfgs. I haven't used that specific one, but Leupolds are hands down my favorites.

Nice scope. Can't beat Leupolds but you can't beat free.

Cabela's bought me a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x 20 on my 336 in .35 REM with credit card points. I mounted it on a DNZ Game Reaper low mount base.

Great scope for 200 yards and closer.

 

[Wade195]

Great scopes. I have a couple.

 

[wsm]

That is a good looking lever gun.

 

[drawforce]

I just bought that same scope it's a nice compact choice for a lever gun

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

So long as the 36mm bell clears the barrel and or rear sight with your desired mounting system it's a fantastic scope and about the perfect power range.

I use to get hung up on having back up sites on long guns in case of scope damage but in all the years of hunting never have had to use it even when damaging a scope in the field. Always had a back up I could rely on.

All those years I went out west hunting I always carried two rifles.

[GOODWIN]

Perfect

I also like the Leupold FX4 for lever guns

Thats alot of scope for a short light lever gun

 

[redblood]

The smaller the better. I agree with 1.5-5x20

 

[redblood]

Nice scope. Can't beat Leupolds but you can't beat free.

Probably, but I prefer the vx5 way more than the vx3s I had.

 

[Derek]

I have a 1.5X5 20mm on my .35 Remington and an old El Paso fixed 3X Post Weaver on the other.
I like small, low-power scopes on my levers.

 

[Remi]

I like the 1-3x20 weaver, 1-4x20 and 1.5-5x20 Leupolds on lever guns.


I have a couple of 2-7x33's and they are nice too but the 20mm scopes are my favorites.
