i was wondering if a nikon 2x7 shot gun hunter would be ok on a marlin 30.30 or an ak-47 thanks rrh

As long as you keep the shots within 200 yards you should be fine without any parallax issues. Depending on the reticle pattern, you might have some issues drawing a decent bead but it will work for the ranges that the 30-30 and 7.62x39 can shoot.

I put a 1.5 X4 power shotgun scope on my Marlin 35 Remington and really like them. For the ranges I use that type of rifle I leave it on 1.5

I use a redfield 2-7 on my 35 rem and love it.

The parallex is usually set for a shorter distance, can't remember if they are 50 or 75 yards, versus 100 yards for rifle.
It should still work fine. I had one on a 357 Marlin with no issues.

Thats is what I would use. 7 power to sight in at 100 yards and then keep it on 2 power for hunting. I am trying to find one for a friend to mount on his Marlin 336 in 30-30.

If looking at alternatives my 444 really shone with a Leupold 2.5X Ultralite fixed power scope. Good sight picture to 200 paces easily. The low power scopes or settings really work like optical peep sights.
