Default Quality affordable scope?

I shoot a 270 bolt action. I have a 3x9 Redfield scope. It was a good scope at the time, but some of the new ones are so much clearer and have other features. I like the Leopold scopes, but they are awfully expensive. Can anyone recommend a good quality scope and a more reasonable price?

I have a remington 270 with a leopold scope and love it. If you can hold off a little and save and go for the better scope, I think you will be glad you did. I have found that you get what you pay for with optics, but that is only my opinion. Good luck!

Check out the Bushnell Elite 3200 series. They are a tad cheaper than the Leupolds and the quality is excellent.

I got a Simmons 8 Point. Pretty good scope, for $50 that is. Not the best but will get the job done.

A lot of truth in the old saying " You get what you pay for"---- Get the Leupold Var III. That's what I did 25 years ago on my Remington 700 30/06 & have never had a problem. It's a 2.5 X 8.

You guys are too much. He ask for suggestion on an affordable scope, and all you guys suggest is $250+ scopes. Not alot of people have that kind of money to spare for a scope. Don't you guys realize that?

I've read some good things about the new Leupold VX-1. I'm not sure on the price but I would guess between $150 and $180 or so. Somebody suggested a Bushnell Elite, probably a similar price and I think they are fairly good. Some of the Cabela's scopes are pretty cheap. Does anybody know if they are any good?

I would not rule out the Nikon's. Both the Buckmaster and Monarch are great scopes for the money.
