That 2-7 or 1.5-5 would b perfect for him on the 30-30. Still hunt on low power and turn it up to identify one in the brush if necessary.

I have a 458Socom rigged for a brush gun and stuck a red dot on it with the open sights working through the red dot. Inside 150 yards for deer, personally I don't need magnification.

1-4X Leupold w/ thick duplex crosshairs. A great choice, the 2.5X fixed in the same brand and reticle is all you would really need.

I have messed around with a few 2x7x32's never did like them in the low light. I pretty much have 3x9x40's on everything, leopold nikon and newer redfield. A friend of mine has a couple of vortex diamondbacks 3x9's I would have no problem using one of them

Thanks everybody, a lot of great suggestions. I'll show my buddy and see what he picks.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

For a woods or brush gun, most hunters want to be able to use lower magnification for better target acquisition
A 1.5-5x is another that could work well.. ^^THIS, I've had 1.75-4.5 Bushnell and 1.5-5 Leupold on a few 30-30's/35 Rem and like that magnification ALOT. Bigger is NOT better IME. And, this magnification range is more than adequate for 150 yds and less. I just sold a Looey 1.5x5 for $200 last month too. Heres a link with some 1x4 and 1.5x5 for under $200 to $300 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...eupold&_sacat=888&LH_TitleDesc=0

A 2-7 x40 Burris is a nice Scope for that rifle. Being a Burris man since '83, a Fullfield II or I in 2x7 is the max I'd go, since at 2x it is actually 1.7.

1-4X Leupold w/ thick duplex crosshairs. I agree, have 2 - last 1 has a pig post crosshairs. Mounted on a model 7 , 7mm-08 and a .280 mountain rifle, pure poison in a tree stand for Pa whitetail.
