Thread: Lever action 3030

To the yanks the 3030 is the standard against which all deer rifles are compared. If you are hunting in thick bush/scrub any kind of scope is useless, it gets caught up and if visibility is around only 30 feet finding a magnified target is interesting. Red dots are excellent but also stick out and can get caught up. Supplejack is a bastard in that regard. Also unless you have a side eject, marlin, late model Winchester etc the empties pop out the top making mounting of optics difficult.
The original tangent sights on lever actions are shit, you would be lucky to hit a flock of barns using them. Try an aperture or ghost ring
I use an aperture (lyman66) on my early model win 94 it doesn't get caught up in stuff when it goes "pigging" and is good enough to have taken deer and goats to 150m with the leverevolution hornaday ammo.
