What scope for a Marlin 1895gs?
I want a silver scope to put on my 1895gs with QR mounts. I want more precision than the open sights give me, but not a real expensive scope. I haven't found many scopes in "stainless", or "silver" that won't break the bank other than a couple Simmons and Bushnells. Does anyone have experience with these?


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Leupold Silver 2.5 Scout scope. Can buy one for under $250


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I want a scope that has a better field of view and higher magnification for longer range shooting from a stand, then be able to just use open sights for closer shots. If I was going to leave the scope on I might go for that though.

Leupold 2.5 X 8 VX-III on my 1895G. Works great. To date have not needed more or less on this rifle.

VX-III is higher than I can afford right now...being 15 is a tough time for money. Frowner
