Had a question for the Lever Action forum.
I have a pretty nice 30-30 I put together over time. My intent when I built it was to use it for boar and deer hunting at some family property in NY state.
Candidly I don’t do much hunting and when I do I use my .308.
I have the gun listed for sale but I have a lot of cash into it and if i can’t recoup most of it I’m going to keep it.
Below is a pic of the set up

My question is would you guys put on a red dot optic on the scout rail? If so does anyone have any experience with them and what would you recommend? I was thinking the Bushnel Tar-25 but have no experience with them and don’t know if they hold up to the recoil.
Or would you use a vari-power optic like a 2x 7?
The overwhelming majority of the hunting with this gun will be under 75 yards.
Thanks for any advise you can give me
