buckmaster vs monarch vs vortex

[Dalebow]

I am looking at putting a scope on my Browning X-bolt either the buckmaster 4.5X14, monarch 3-12X42 or one of the vortex scopes around the same power range, going on a 270wsm, what do you guys reccomend??

If money is an issue i'd check out the Vortex Diamondback. I just recently put one on my daughters rifle and i have to say that it is a very nice scope for less money than the other two that you mentioned. The optics are bright, crisp and clear and i would put it up against anything in its price range ($200). It also has a lifetime warranty.

The Vortex scopes are very nice. In their line, I prefer the Viper series over the Diamondbacks. Another solid choice would be Sightron Big Sky scopes. Very nice also. Regarding the ones you mentioned, I'd put the Buckmasters last but, it in itself, is very doable. The Monarchs are good too. If it were my choice now, I'd jump on a Sightron Big Sky. Many have rebates also. Good luck.

I never used a Vortex but buckmaster and monarch are both good scopes, i always suggest 3-9x40 that'll get you out 300+yds is lighted and cost less, most hunters never shoot a deer over 150yds.
