RE: Cabelas Alaskan Guide scopes
Tell us.....
how much you want to spend
what magnification you are seeking
what rifle it's going on
how much eye relief do you need.
That's (4) ways to point you to a better, brand-name scope at the same cost or less.

I use the Cabelas Pine Ridge 2.5-7x32 blackpowder scope on my new MDM muzzleloader and love it. It is really clear and the adjustments are tight plus it has 4" of eye relief. Used that one to put the first notch on the new rifle last year during muzzleloading season. Im planning on buying a couple more for two other rifles. For 69.99 they are a pretty good scope and Cabelas stands behind their brands. I have read good things about the Alaskan guide scopes also. Try one and if you dont like it send it back. They will refund your money or trade you out for something else.

I'm trying to find out if anyone has had good or bad experiences with Cabelas Scopes.

Whenever I suggest a different scope, that usuallyindicates I've come across issues with these European-made scopes from ML & centerfire posters on 17 messageboards I visit.
Good luck in your search.

He may be like me and not really know how to answer the questions you asked. Fact is, I've boughtcheap, probably inferior, optics through the years and all are still serving me well. I just don't know what I'm missing out on. I guess. I'm not knowlegdeable enough to know what eye relief I need, want, or otherwise.
I think skamaniac may appreciate being directed to the posts orindividuals who were dissatisfied if you can remember them.
Happy Hunting, Phil

RE: Cabelas Alaskan Guide scopes
I knew what you meant skamaniac. Thats why I told you what I did about my cabelas scope. Sometimes people respond before they realize they arent actually answering the question the right way then they get mad at you for not responding totheir blunder. Some people you will find have a chip on their shoulder but it is best just to ignore them like I have.
