Unfortunately, I recently acquired a 336 .30-30. It’s unfortunate because my grandfather left me all of his guns and I’d trade them all back for just one more visit with him. That said, there’s no going back, and in honor of him, the next gun season deer I kill will be with his weapon.
The scope on it is an old fixed 4x deer field. It’s not what I would buy, but if possible, I want to use it just as he had it for all these years. My question is, will this scope probably hold a zero? I know the old Simmons were notorious for moving all around if zoomed, but is the fixed any better? I don’t want to cripple a deer, and if the consensus is that it’s not an ethical optic, I’ll replace it with a Vortex or Leupold. Thoughts?
