Buy recommendations Optics recommendations for 30.30 survival rifle?

Post image

Just purchased this folding Chiappa Big Badger in 30.30.
looking for any sight/optics recommendations, wont be shooting anything north of 150yd, so low power scopes, red dot types etc. would be my assumed preference.
Low profile is a winner, because of the compact nature of the gun.

Sounds like N LPVO would be great for you.

1-4 or 1-6 should be more than enough zoom for your needs, while still being great up close.

Only downside is a lot of them are quite heavy, probably more heavy than the gun pictured. So I'd check that while shopping. Leupold makes some lightweight scopes (12oz or less) like the VX Freedom 2-7 or 3-9, or you may be better off with a red dot.

A light 2-7 sounds pretty good,  I didn't realize the lpvos were so heavy! In that  case a 2-7 sounds way better

Yeah lightweight is good for lightweight gun
