Hi guys, my 64 just came with mounts so I chose to get a scope. I started with a 4x off one of my airguns, but didn't do well at 50yds. I got a 3-9 Bushnell and that lasted a couple years. I just got a new Bushnell Engage 6-18 for my .308 so the previous scope there came over to the 64. It now has a 4-12 Vortex (Friday) and I got it zeroed and added a Reflex on top. That's good for quick shots (5 in one hole @ 25) then the V for longer ones.

I would suggest that you get a good Reflex or a med price scope. I'm 70 and appreciate the glass more than irons. And I had a double cataract lens replacement. No glasses but the scope makes it easier than irons. I had an SKS and was good with irons but prefer scopes. I got a Marlin 60 last year and didn't even try the irons, went to a scope right away. Irons are there if the scope breaks!
