I am looking for a good scope for my omega that is cheaply priced I had one scope on it but din't realy fit the gun I had to stick my face way forward to get the black to disapear and you know what happens then, any one had any luck out there with there's for cheap!

When you say cheap.. there is cheap and then there is cheap.

The Nikon Pro Staff is a good scope for around $129.00. It has good eye releif, excellent clarity, gathers light well, life time guarantee, and is tuff as nails.

On my Black Diamond XR I use a simple Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 1.5-4.5x32mm and again, this scope sells for around $69.00. It too has excellent eye relief, excellent clarity, gathers light real well, and so far has taken all the abuse I have handed it and never left zero. The Dusk to Dawn series also come in 3-9x40mm with excellent eye relief as well and again, low priced. In fact one model for those that really want to get away from their scope has a 6" approximate eye relief.

A Sightron S1 is a good scope, but the eye relief has to be watched. As the Millet Buck series, both low prices, both good scopes, but again the eye releif needs to be watched.

So a cheap scope, the Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn. A reasonable scope, the Nikon Pro Staff.

I have a 3x9x40 Bushnell Dusk to Dawn with a Circle X on my Omega. I also have the same scope on my 06 and 270. I've never hadany problems with them.

Ihave a Cabela's muzzleloader scope kit (comes with scope, base,and rings)for my Omega. It's a Pine Ridge scope, no problems and very good for only $70.

bushnell banner series. my new favorite is the fixed 4x 32 with the circle dot reticle. one less thing to fiddle with on the stand. point and shoot!:D

I agree with Cayugad, I have the nikon prostaff on my omega and it's a great scope for the money...plus the warranty. My dad liked it so much he put on on his 308.

I'll vote for the nikon prostaff. It took a nasty tumble sliding off of shooting table onto concrete.....sighted back in and was good to go.

I started out with a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32. Bought my first Nikon Pro Staff for my Muzzleloader. Then bought a second Nikon for my 1187 slug gun. No regrets the Nikon is one fine scope.

cheap to one man may be an arm and a leg to another. I was faced with the same dilemma last fall. I went middle of the road for my Omega Z5, Bushnell legend 3.9.40 for $139. No complaints- probably very similar to the Nikon Pro Staff...good luck

I think I might try the bushnell banner dusk till dawn, before I had a $40 Tasco and the reticle was good and the clarity was fine but the scope itself seemed real long and just plain din't fit the gun, there was no way to get the black to disapear and not have your eye right up to it!

I have been testing a value priced scope for a while that may be of interest to some. Here is a link to the model I have and the dealer I got it from.

I'm still testing it but so far after about 50 to 75 rounds of mostly heavy conicals it is doing well. The set up of the reticle is a type of balistic plex that on 9x has about 4.5" between tick marks and 7" between the rangefinding graduations at the bottom. I have been able to taylor my sight in so that I hit within an inch of POA at 100 yards with the center crosshair and 150 with the next tick mark down, 200 yards on the second tick mark, 225 or so for the third tick mark and 250 or so for the fourth tick mark using a 460gr conical. With lighter/faster bullets it can stretch out to around 300 yards at the fourth tick mark.

As I stated, I am still testing the scope but so far it looks and works good. They also have a shotgun scope that has an interesting reticle design that should work well for deer hunting that is easier to use and marked in yards. Here is a link to it.

I haven't tried this one.

dmurphy317 those are interesting scopes to say the least. Especially the shotgun model. Although, I noticed the eye releif in the scope would tend to worry me a little. I normally shoot scopes with at least 3.5 inches of relief. Keep us posted as to how well it works.
