Bought for marlin 336bl, plan to get another for my boys .22lr - Weaver V-3 1-3x20mm Dual-X Hunting Rifle Scope

Bought this optic to replace a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x33mm that I had on my .30-30. The Crossfire II is an excellent scope, it's just that it adds a little bulk to an already heavy-ish rifle. I really liked the idea of shaving off a significant number of ounces off the .30-30 lever action. The Weaver is a perfect combo for the .30-30. With the Weaver balance no longer gets shifted to front-end heavy. And the fast target acquisition of the both-eyes-open 1x is really cool. Especially when you plan on going into areas which are more woodland and dense. My 8yo son told me he "wants a Sniper" (an optic) for his .22LR. Though there are plenty of much cheaper optics that would work great on a .22LR I believe I will opt for another of these 1-3x20mm since they don't add much weight... and I don't want the boy learning to rely heavily on magnification... and realistically for a .22LR this would be all you'd ever need. There is thin amount of ever-so-slight fish-eye distortion around the perimeter of the FOV when on 1x. But the FOV is so nice and wide you don't really notice it when acquiring target, and it's not there when you dial-up the magnification to higher values.
