Curious as to why scoped? Biggest benefit to most "brush" guns is open sites.
Starting thinking last night it would be cool to have a nice scoped lever gun for bear hunting and such on the westside. Im not much of a gun buff so im not sure of a good cartridge and effective yardage. It would be nice to have one capable of shooting out to 200 yards. Any input or suggestions.
I think you have seen my Marlin...........308 Express. Pretty cool gun in my opinion.

Any input or suggestions.If you go with a Browning, the sky is the limit on range and calibers..From 22 LR to 300 WM.. The BLR has a rotating bolt head that LOCKS into place. It will shoot right alongside off the shell bolt guns for accuracy, and you can reload them up just like a bolt gun due to the way the bolt turns and locks the action... I have a pre 81 BLR in .308 It shoots the lights out. Usually 1/2 in. groups at 100 yards... so yea basically one ragged hole.. It is light, easy to handle and makes a great brush gun. I keep a 3.5-10 scope on it, and I find it very easy to shoot at close range...

I really think they just look bad @$$ and would like to own one for the cool factor.
