I hunted Africa in 2007 with this scope on my Marlin .45/70.
(color photo of the rig with waterbuck cow in Safari Dreams)
Very accurate (just under 1MOA!) with this optic.

I replaced it with a 2.5x Leupold Scout scope in 2008, though there's
nothing at all wrong with this 4x. 

The one-piece Leupold base and Quick Release rings are superb.
I use them on several other rifles also.
Will mount on any Marlin lever gun.  Perfect for your .30-30.

Very good condition.

OK, OK, y'all drive a hard bargain!
$299 postpaid.

If somebody just wants the scope, or scope/rings, make an offer by PM.
Thanks,

I have just the marlin (1895GS) to put it on, but it it won't be until the Jam until I have the scratch (if I'm lucky)...

Anarchy ungodly? See 1 Sam. 8

The desire to control the life of others is more evil than the desire to simply kill them.
The desire to control the life of others by proxy, through “voting”, is just as evil… but more cowardly.

Old Ironsights, if you send me $100 earnest money, I'll hold it for you until the Jam.

Scope itself has sold, but I still have the base/rings.
$45
Anybody with a Marlin lever who wants to scope it?
