I have a marlin 336 in .30-30 with a scout scope. I love that rifle! I really want a long ranger in .308, with a scout scope. I could not find a way to mount a scout scope on it like the XS lever scout on my marlin, so I never bought one.
For me, open sights or scout scope on a lever gun is my preference.
