What size of scope would you use?

red dot scopes are more then adequate for this seeing the distance it shoots with an accuracy. SNIPER COMPACT RED/GREEN DOT LTRD35 WITH MOUNT ~~~ $25.99 + $9.49 shipping

Two and a half or three inches . Didn't return mine held zero after sighting in with 2 or three rounds. Should fit most standard sized scopes.

Measure or look up the outside diameter of your scope. Then look up your size on this Butler chart. http://www.butler-creek.com/productsImages/charts/flip_scope_chart.html

I had a Meopta 3 x 9 x 42 and Medium worked very well. Low might work but you would likely not be able to get any scope covers on. Get the medium. Dan

Any 3x9 leaper scope. Does not have to be expensive there is no recoil. I got a quick sight. You need dovetail ring mounts for scope or a weaver rail adapter.

I have found out that using the BSA 2-7X32 Edge Series Pistol Scope is the best overall! I like the EDGE 2x20 also but they seem to be just for the short shots and a bit harder to sight in fast. I have many pellet hand guns and they work well on all of them.

Probably, even with the scope, although I don't think the fit would be as tight. I would just double check the length to make sure you're good there.

It depends on the limiting magnitude (i.e. the faintest objects you can see with the naked eye) where you plan to observe (see wikipedia.org and search for 'limiting magnitude' for more information). For reasonable conditions (lim. mag of 4-5) you'll need an extra ~8-9 mags, so a 10 inch or more should do it. If you plan to observe in 'perfect' conditions you might be able to get away with a smaller telescope, even down to 5 inches, but it would be pushing it. So, &gt;10" if you want to be on the safe side, &gt;5" if the conditions are very good.

I would consider these more along the line of medium. I currently have a Nikon Prostaff in 4-12 x 40 on a 700 in 7mm Rem Mag, and could probably install a 50 with no problem. Ocular height is very comforable and there is no need to crowd the eyepiece because the scope sits too far up or down. My stock is traditional walnut with a regular butt, not a Monte Carlo style stock.

I am leaving the glass of for now. But if I was to add a scope, it would probably be like a 1-5, since I woldn't shoot over 100 yds. Max!

Dennis.....personally i would go with at least a 3x9x32 on a 30-06. I put this scope on my ar15 and its great for 223 caliber. 06 has lots more range and a bigger magnification would serve you well

I do not own one, so I cannot speak to the size, but measure carefully and pick a cover that fits most snug to your sight. Additionally, some scope manufacturers will list the BC cover model number to purchase for your particular sight. Good luck!

I got a large for a 3 x 9 x 50mm. It does stretch and barely gets around my scope so a large should work for you.

I would recommend at least the MEDIUM ring height. I mounted mine on a Henry lever action and the medium just barely lefts the front above the receiver. It really depends on how far forward you will mount it, and whether the front end sits over the receiver, or the barrel. BTW- I really like the scope.

That was the same question I asked myself. So I bought both. The answer is yes the 3-9 X 40 scope provides a better image at low level light conditions. That is the scope I use on my gun.

Well it depends how far are you shooting in my neck of the woods. 3x9 is fine. I like 3x9 I leave Lt on 3 while walking in just in case I jump something.On 3 I can focus quickly on a target . The only time I adjust higher is when sitting once I spot something or when target shooting. I normally target shoot 50- 200 yards with no problem with 3x9 either way its a wonderful scope you be happy.

I have the same scope on a .308 but went with the 4 x 12 on the .270. I really think it would be just fine.
