What scope would you recommend for a 30-06 around $80-$170 ,shooting anywhere from 20-250 yards

Very simple-either a weaver v10,2x-10x,or a nikon prostaff 3x-9x-40mm.

Those sound like pretty good recommendations. Nikon seems to make some nice stuff.

I love my Burris Fullfield II I put on my 30-06 so far. I haven't had it long enough to see how it holds up to the test of time but so far I like it quite a bit. Really clear and has just impressed me. It's only slightly over your budget. I paid $200 or so on clearance from Dicks Sporting Goods with a free Garmin eTrex GPS.

Not sure about the tru-glo as I don't have any experience with them other than you'll never need 16x in the deer woods,but the simmons has entirely too much magnfication to be even usable in field unless turned all the way down,and both simmons and bsa are too cheap and iffy quality to take a chance on trusting. It's MUCH better to go with quality than to go with a cheap scope with more power!!!!!!!

I don't have any personal experience with BSA but I know a couple of people who have bought them and they all said the insides just broke loose from the recoil on anything bigger than a .22 but that they worked fine on a .22. I'd stay away from that. One of the guys that told me this is one of the better guys I know when it comes to guns. He seems to know what he is talking about.

+1 on the burris fullfield II, also check out nikon buckmaster, bushnell 3200,and luepold vx1. All are around $200 and are good scopes. A few extra dollars now will save you $ later. If you cant get the extradough, the nikon prostaff would be my choice.

Read all the past threads on my VX-1 I had. I do not that thing much at all. The Burris blows it out of the water clarity wise. I'd go with a Simmons, Tasco, or cheap Bushnell long before I'd go with the Leupold VX-I again. Then I have people telling me that it's because I went with Leupolds lowest model that it sucks. Well, 2nd lowest in reality as the Rilfeman seems cheaper. I however, don't care if it's their lowest model or what. For that price it's no reason it should be like that.
