At what range does a scope become a disadvantage? I eastern deer hunt with a Marlin XL7 in .270. I have a Nitrex 3x9x42 on it (heck of a package for the money). I have been looking for an excuse to buy a lever gun with irons on it. I know is the brush they are the best. So how to I justify this in regards to the limitations of scopes at close range. The area I hunt most is literally less than 100 yards visibility and they can come up quick!
