I am thinking about getting the Leupold Rifleman in 3-9X40. Anything better for the money? It is about $200...Thanks! Dave

IMO the Elite 3200 or the Burris Fullfield II are much better.
Although I only know of one person that has bought a Rifleman, It was absolute junk.
Remember this is just my experiance and opinion.
Good luck

Nikon makes an excellent line of scopes.

Swift!!!!

Go to swiftoptics.com Most are under $200. The Premier series is very good.

How about the var X I leupold?

I ordered a 3X9 X 40 varX I for $182.50 with tax and shipping. Seems like that will work. I am going to put it on my NEF handirifle syn stock with 26 ultra barrel in 25-06. Should be a fun set up. Going to try it with hornady 117 SST boat tails. This will be one of my whitetail deer rifles. If I hate the set up, that scope is going on my 30-06 with mauser action and the simmons 44 mag scope on the 30-06 will go on the handirifle.
