Scope
I'm looking to get a scope for a rifle i am going to be purchasing very soon. I will be getting either the stevens 200 in .223 or an NEF in .223. I want a scope with plenty of magnification, but i don't need too much. Probably somewhere around 18 on the high end. Question is, what scopes should i be looking at. I want something that is "good for the money". Thanks.

RE: Scope
Well, i know that with scopes you shouldn't be pinching penny's but i like to get the most of my equipment. I currently use a vxii which isn't cheap, but for varminting i wouldn't mind paying less. An expensive hunt and tag isn't on the line and neither is my life, so i would like to spend under 200 bucks. Under 150 would be great and i know there are some that fit the bill, but are there any scopes that inexpensive that still perform adequetly?

RE: Scope
Natchez has a Bushnel Banner 6x18 for 106.00 The Trophy Model, same power is 189.00 You might check the Swift scopes as well. They are a very good scope for the money. I have a Tasco 6x18 Mag four that I had on my NEF 223. I liked it but some don't. Simmons has some good scopes, The Aetec and White Tail Exp. are good ones. Cabelas has a few of those but only 10X I think. I don't know what Sightron Makes for Varmit scopes but they make some good lower priced scopes as well.

RE: Scope
I don’t think you can go wrong with the Bushnell Trophy line of scopes. I have the 6-18 and find it’s a nice scope for the price. You can definitely find something with a lower price tag. Good luck.

RE: Scope
I purchased one of the mid 90's production Redfield 6-18X40 on ebay for $100 about one year ago. Look on ebay and you might find another. It will be superior to any of the low cost 6-18 variables on the market. Whatever you choose make sure it has an adjustable objective anytime you go over 10 power.
