Default NEW SCOPE...NEW RINGS??

I am planning on buying a new scope...leaning toward a Bushnell 3200 and was wondering if I should also buy new rings? I will be putting it on a Savage 110 in 30.06 and presantly have a cheap Simmons on it. Any help would be great thanks in advance....

i'd stay with the simmons until you can afford a nikon or leupold. and get leupold rings too. probably ur looking at $250 but it will last a looooong time

I believe the bushnell 3200 to be the best scope you can buy in it's price range.I own two 3000's on a couple of my practise rifles and several friends have 3000's and 3200's on their hunting rifles.They seem to hold zero well and none has failed yet.They are also brighter than a similarily priced leupold.I do however use leupold rings and bases on all of my rifles.

From what i have heard the elite 3200's are good scopes. i am looking at putting one on my encore. i was surprised at the clarity and sharpness of the ones i have looked through.
if the rings you have will work no need to change. i don't like weavers but that just me.

I'm a big Leupold, but the 3200 are good scopes. I have a couple and they've performed great.

As far as the rings, if you're happy with the rings you have, keep them.
