glad to hear that, probly making a good decision then

RE: scope for savage
 

I have a Savage model 12 fv .204 with the varmint barrel, I put a Smith-Wesson 6x24 target scope and it will shoot 1 ragged hole at a 100.

Simmons Aetec Or Swift Premiere. On a 223 the Bushnell Trophy should work very well too. Wearver bases and rings will hold up forever or longer on a Savage 223. I had Weaver rings on my 416 Rem Mag for years without a seconds problem.

I mentioned in another forum that Bass Pro Shops have Simmons 3-10x44 44 Mag Scopes on sale for $80, which is a pretty nice scope at a pretty good price. (Lifetime warranty, too.) Closeout deals are out there...

I'd get a Leupold scope.

RE: scope for savage
 

I havethree Leupolds and three Aetecs. The Leupolds will not out shoot my Simmons Aetecs. I can now buy about eight Aetecs for what the three Leupolds cost me. Now that I have expierenced the Aetecs performance I won't be buying and more Leups. Unless the bring their price down to where the other imported parts scopes sell for.;)

well ut it depends on the ranges youd be hunting at for that price you can pick up a nice red head or tasco scope. like a 4-14 or bit smaller but sence your buyin a smaller longrange caliber id go for a longrange scope maybe a tasco they have some scopes by tasco called target/varmint shooters scope its a 6-24-42mm scope for for bout 90.00 dollars i ahve a tasco world class scope on my savage 7mm model111 and it shoots great. id recommend that scope though for a good buy its at cabelas.com

Check out Muellers and the new Simmons....if they ever ship them!

I might suggest watching www.natchezss.com They sent out a email of Reburbished scope at a reasonable price just the other day.Watch Ebay for a used Leupold. You cansend it to the factory and have it gone through.
