I'd go 1.5x5 far as power.Budgetwise may have to look for a good sale. I love Leupold's vari x 3 - 1.5x5. Would be perfect on a 45/70.

A 3-9 scope doesn't look at home on a lever action excluding a BLR Does any scope look at home on any lever action?

Get a good used Nikon in a 3x9x40. My eyesight is getting worse so I put a Zeiss diavari 3x9x36 on my 45-70. Best thing I've ever put on it. Got it used for 300.00
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

A Burris 2-7x35 is in your price range and is a very good scope for the money. Optics Planet has them for $159 with free shipping. 2-7 is plenty of magnification for a 45-70. This is a good suggestion. Burris is one of the most underrated scopes there is. I love Burris scopes.

Can you use a lever 45-70 during primitive season? It is supposed to be breach loading weapons during primitive season. I have the handi rifle.
In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

Does any scope look at home on any lever action?
Absolutely not! Unfortunately when our eyes get old, it becomes a necessary evil. But I would go with a fixed power, 4x32 or 6x40, something in that range.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I have a Bushnell TRS-25 1X red dot optic on my Marlin Guide Gun.
I think it will do just fine at the ranges I'll be shooting it.
If you're concerned with the aesthetics of a big telescope on a lever gun, this pretty much avoids that problem.

I have an old Swift 2x7x32 on my NEF 45-70. I worked up some 200yd loads with 350gr JHP for it that really work good but they're not pleasant at all on the shooting range.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
