Scopes from Sportsman's Guide

[GunManOsh]

Has anyone had any experience with scopes from the Sportsman's Guide? I see the BSA's and Guidegear scopes in there that look incredibly awesome for the price but I have never bit the bullet (pun intended) to get one and try it out. Have any of you guys checked them out? I am thinking of possibly going with one of the ones with the lighted reticle or dot. What I'm looking to do with it is shoot Coyotes at night with my .22-250. Any and all comments are welcome.
Thanks,
College Student on a budget

the only bad thing about sportsman outdoors is they take FOREVER to ship something.

I haven't ever had a Guidegear, but I would steer well clear of a BSA. I have never had much with them. The reticles were bad at wandering, light transmission was poor, and durability left a lot to be desired. Skimping out on optics has come back tohaunt me every time.

For the best bang for the buck, I'd recommend a Nikon Buckmaster. They are quality optics that have good light transmission and maintain zero well. They are not the cheapest scope you can buy, but they are about the cheapest scope you can buy and expect satisfactory results from in low-light conditions.

I've got a 3-9x40 Buckmaster on my .223. It is just the plain Nikoplex reticle, and I've never had a problem getting on target when the coyotes come up at night.

My buddy has a guide gear scope(notsure of power) on his .300 win mag and loves it.As far as their shipping I never had anything from them take longer than 3 days to get to me with standard shipping.
