The Leupold rifleman 3-9 by 40mm is just around $200 and comes with a lifetime warranty. have one on my rem 700 bdl in 30-06 and definitely holds it's zero.:D

RE: best scope
 

Has anyone tried the bass pro "red head scope's"? do they hold any comparison at all?

RE: best scope
 

I would say the nikon buckmaster. Great low light scope for $220.00 .I have one on my 300 win mag and the poi has never change for day one and its been there for 3 years. Good luck.

3200 Elite or Burris FFII take your pick.

Burris Fullfield II

RE: best scope
 

Another vote for the Burris Fullfield II, with a close second the Nikon Buckmasters.

RE: best scope
 

I own a Burris fullfield 1-4x, 3 leupold VX-II (4x, 1-4x and a 3x9) and a Leupold VX-III 3.5x10-40mm. Only reason I purchased the Burris FF was because it fit my gun/me (eye relief) whereas the leupold's just didn't do the trick. The Burris is acceptable but the VXII areclearer when I look through them. I have also owned a Swarovski 3x9x36american series that I felt was inferior to my leupold VXIII. Now when it comes to bino's there's nothing better than my Swarovski's 8X30 SLC. I bought all these optics back in 1995-1996 when I threw out all my otherscopes that I had owned and haven't purchased any since that time.

I dont think youll find a vari x II in 3-9x40 for 200$ anymore. Let me know if you do.

You dont need the scope caps if you get the Bushnell with Rainguard.

RE: best scope
 

I've owned Leupold and Nikon. Both are great, but bang for buck, I like my Nikons.

RE: best scope
 

I own a bunch of scopes.....my favorite is a Zeiss conquest 4x14, then the Nikon Buckmaster 3-12X50 tied with the Burris Fullfield 4-14, then the Leupolds (have 4 of them) and finally the Sightron 6X16. We have a 4 point restriction up here in NC Missouri and the Nikons and Zeiss deliver in low light situations. The Burris BP reticle is simply amazing. Itworks well on the '06's, 243's etc. The Zeiss tops them all. Regards, Rick.
