RE: Riflescopes - $100 vs. $200 vs. $400???
Thanks for the input. Knock on wood, I haven't had an outright failure yet...but then it's only a matter of time I'm sure. I definitely didn't plan on a Tasco or Simmons, butI just can'tspend hundreds of dollars either. Since the hunting season is over for this year, I've got some time to save up and I think that's what I'll do. Nonetheless, I'm not going to be able to swing the luxury scopes no matter how long I save.
I intentionally made my initial question very general to hopefully help others besides myself. Now to a more selfish question. The gun I'm trying to mount in a stainless barrel/action .25-06 that will be used for just about everything smaller than elk (I'll keep my 7 mag. for those tasks). It will be primarily a deer and antelope gun with the possibility of an occasional coyote. The kicker is the stainless part. I want a silver finished 3-9 scope so this limits my choices a fair bit. As I mentioned before, I'm very happy with my Prostaff, but am certainly willing to consider other options.
If I stay in the $100-$200 range, what would you all look at? Which of the previously mentioned scopes are available in silver?...The Nikons are the only ones I'm familiar with at this point.
Thanks again for the words of wisdom.
