Scopes
Just kinda kickin around some ideas and wanted your guys and gals opinion on a good varmint scope. I was looking at the Nikon 4.5X14X40 Buckmasters scope and it seemed pretty decent for the price. Any input would be appreciated. I'm looking to get a varmint rifle in the spring and wanted a good piece of glass for the top.

What is the best scope for a 300 win mag. 0 -
i have a friend who is as accomplished a hunter as anybody and he contends a $150 scope will perform {under the same conditions} as a $500 scope. he says that a tasco 3x9 or bushnell 3x9 is just as good as a leupold or redield. i thinks he's wrong but tell me why? 0 -
What scope would fit on a Rem. 700 PSS, and how do I know what scope mounts or rings to put on?
I know almost nothing about mounting scopes what parts I need and how to find out what size I need, so I need help.0 -
Question: which would you want for a .308 on an AR platform? A Weaver Grand Slam 3-10 by 40 1/10 Mil/Mildot OR
a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 1/8 moa MilDot
Both at Midway in the $300 to $350 range. Can't afford better now.0 -
I would like to know the best scope for a S & W 460 mag. I would like a good one but I don't want to spend a ton of cash?? thanks Mike 0 -
Went to the ranges yesterday and now
kind of believe the sight picture:
clarity and realized magnification is
better with my busnell 3200 5-15
than with my leupold 6-180 -
Im geting a new gun here in the next few days [}:)] and it coming with a Leuplod VX-II 9-18 X 40. I dont know much about scopes should I leave it or get some thing else?.... oh and its coming on my ar-50 0 -

Leupold Rifelman 4-12X44
I picked mine up for $250ish shipped from Cabelas. [;)] Do a search for them. You can get them for around $240ish.
Leupold quality at a wal-mart price.0 -
Leupold Vari-X III...Nikons are not bad for the money, if you are looking for something cheaper. I'm not a fan of Burris. I've seen too many of their reticles come loose. 0 -
Depends on how much money....
0-$75 - Bushnell or Barska. The latter being my choice.
76-150 - Nikon, Sightron, Leupold
151 - 500 - Burris, Leupold
501+ - Kahles, Nightforce0 -

It all depends on what you want to do with it. You do not need a $1000 scope to shoot paper targets at 100 yards. I also wouldn't go on a dream hunt for Yukon Moose with a $100 scope. Most of my target rifles have eather Tasco or Simmons scopes on them. My hunting rifles all have Leupold and my handguns all wear Burris.0 -
I have tried ALL of the cheap/cheaper scopes.
For the money, you cannot beat a Nikko Stirling - distributed by Legacy International in the states.
6-24x56, mildots, side parallax adjustment, quick eye focus, 30 mm tube...and suggested retail of $229!0 -
Leupold.
I would say Sightron is another good choice for your money.0 -
For low dollar scopes I have had good luck with NcStar.
But like was said earlier I would go better for a good hunting scope.0 -
I dream of the day when I can afford put a Zeiss on my Garand. In the real world, I've never had any problems with the Bushnell Sportview line of scopes. I've also heard good things about BSA, but I can't support any of that. 0 -
Leupold. The image crispness between even a VX-I and most other comparable ($200 or so) scopes is noticeable.
My favorite, however, is Swarovski. But that's a whole 'nuther price range.0 -
Burris gives you the most bang for a buck. 0 -
I should have been clearer, just purchased a 300 win mag.Looking for a scope that will bring down whitetail as well as elk and wild boars 0 -

OK, now that we know what your going to do with it there are a few other questions to answer:
Where do you hunt?
What are the tempature extreams you will hunt in?
What is the shortest and longest range you will be shooting?
What is your exact budget for a scope?
Give us a few more details and we'll give you the exact model to look at, we will not all agree on the scope but it'll give you something to look at.0 -
Swift Premier line. 0 -
Match the price of the gun to get the scope for that gun.
Schmidt & Bender is the best then they go down hill from there.0 -
My buget is 300.00$ or less I hunt in the ozark mts. but am also planning a trip to colorado for some elk hunting. 0 -
As you do have a 300 Mag I would say a decent scope is in order and it needs to have a fair amount of magnification to back up the capabilities of the cartridge. I would say 3 to 4 power on the low end and 12 to 14 power on the high end with at least a 40mm adjustable objective. Check these out:

I must say that after looking at the choices in your price range that it would be a crying shame to put a cheep scope on a Weatherby, save up another $200 and get something nice (IMHO)0 -
For what money? You get crap for under $100. Save your nickles and buy a Burris Signature Select. 0 -
Go get a Bushnell Elite 4200. You can't go wrong. Forever warranty, rainguard coating, excellant light transmission, clarity. 0 -
