suprised Burris wasn't on the list.....biggest bang for the buck is the 4-14 Burris Fullfield II with the ballistic plex reticle. I've switched out nearly all my leupolds to the Burris.

I have leupold varIII ON .300 ULTRA MAG 3.5-10X40. THE SCOPE DID FAIL TO THE RECOIL THE GLASS BROKE INSIDE THE SCOPE I TOOK THE SCOPE BACK TO CABELAS THEY GAVE ME A NEW ONE. I HAVENT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS ONE. I ALSO OWN A COUPLE OF NIKONS THESE ARE REALLY GOOD SCOPES FOR THE MONEY I HAVE A 3-9X40 UCC ON MY .270 AND A 4.5-16X44 ON MY 22-250 I I LOVE THAT COMBO. TACK DRIVER.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Most of my hunting is done in the close woods of Jack County Texas, and it is rare that you get a good shot over 100 yds. While I have use leupolds, and know they are the best scopes made, my Bushnell sharpshooter 3-9x40 is more than enough at that range.

RE: Which Scope?
 

i have a Tasco 3-9x40 world class on my 30-06 Model 70, it seems to work fine. i know it isnt no ziess or leupold but is this tasco scope a decent one or is it a little on the chearper side. it came with the gun when i bought it.

RE: Which Scope?
 

My favorites are:

HP Rifle setup is my Browning A-Bolt II Stainless Stalker 270 Win. with 3.3-10x44 Nikon Titanium.

Muzzleloader is my TC Encore 209x50 Magnum Stainless with 1.5-4.5x20 Nikon Monarch UCC.

Slug gun is my Remington SP 870 12ga Super Slug with the same 1.5-4.5,20 Nikon Monarch UCC.

Needless to say, my choice in optics is the Nikon.

The new Nikon Monarch Gold will be my next purchase to put on my 7mm Magnum BAR.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Nikon Monarch 3x9 40. One piece tube, high quality optics, coating. Can't get better optics for the $. Life time warranty no matter what happens. If you fall and break it, send it in and they'll send you another.

I'm picking another one up mounted on a new Tikka T3 tomorrow. I think it's as good a combination you can get for just over $800

RE: Which Scope?
 

Leupold hands down.

My vote goes to leupold.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I put a Swarovski 6X 36 on a custom 6.5 / 284. Optically the scope was great. BUT on my first hunt with the rifle in a constant drizzle, the scope fogged. Swarovski took it back and repaired it in short order, but it left a bad impression. For the money I would expect a high end scope like Swarovski to be trouble free. I now immerse any new scope I purchase in a bucket of water before it goes on my rifles. Anyone else out there have a new scope fail?

I have several rifles, mostly big game varieties from .243 to .338. With the one exception of the Swarovski, they all have Leupold fixed 6x, either 36mm or 42 mm. One exception is my.338 which wears a Leupold 4x 33. They are light, simple, and dependable (with one major exception) and mount low which best fits my shooting form. For big game I find both the 4x and the 6x have adequate magnification for hits as far as I am able to shoot and be certain of vital hits. Any other fixed power scope fans out there?

Leupold Hands Down.
Then Nikon

RE: Which Scope?
 

Nikon Monarch 3x9-40. High quality, clear optics and coatings, strong 1 piece tube, adjustable and lifetime unconditional guarantee. With a good pair of rings mounted, sight it in and it stays put, even with some the heavy magnum calibers.

I like it! ;)

RE: Which Scope?
 

I'll 2nd that high end Bushnell. Been using a 4 x 12 x 40. for 14years. No problems. One thing I would like to see in a scope is some kind of artificial horizon or level. Shooting long range in the field, it would be nice to know if your gun is straight up and down.

RE: Which Scope?
 

i have a remington 700 custom deluxe in 300rum .whick scope would you advise for shooting out to 500 yds? [8D]

RE: Which Scope?
 

ive used a lot of different scopes in my life but i have found that you can not beat a good ol' Luepold on any type of rifle .............:):D:D:D

Leupold Vari x III 3x9 on Browning A-Bolt 30-06

RE: Which Scope?
 

I was trying to start a poll on which is the better type of gun such as like have a poll like which do u like more:
7mm
308
270
30-06
etc,



So basically if u could take the basic calibres and make a post I thought that that would be a great type of poll.
I also don't have the time to make it so I was just putting in ideas on poll types.

RE: Which Scope?
 

what about Burris?

RE: Which Scope?
 

What about Nikon? Mine is a 3x9 on my Remington 7600 .270 cal.

RE: Which Scope?

Leopold Vx III 3.5 X 10 w/40mm objective. Leopold's top selling scope.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Really! You list a couple of scopes that can only be afforded by the elite, Swarovski and Zeiss, another manufacturer that has basically been non existent for the past 5 years, Redfield, but don't list two of the best manufacturers of quality affordable midrange scopes in Burris and Nikon? I have a pair of Fullfield II 3x9 scopes with the Ballistiplex reticle because they were a good scope for a great deal (under $200 including a compact spottiing scope or now a set of 8x32 binoculars). I have been happy with them so far.

RE: Which Scope?
 

does anyone have any experience with A1Optics? i saw one post in here asking about them. never heard of them till recently. thanks

RE: Which Scope?
 

Leupold hands down for quality for the cost, dependability and warranty. Yet to meet very many people who have tried a Leupold and left it. Yet, they usually don't say that with other brands.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I dont use a scope but if I did, I'd go with Leupold

RE: Which Scope?
 

Why don't you have Nikon on here their Monarch line of scopes are very impressive.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I agree!! I use a Nikon Monarch 3-10x50, and it is incredible.

If I was going to try something else it would be a Leupold VX-III with the same specs as my Nikon.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Well I see that I am in the minority when it comes to scopes. I don't have anything against the Bushnells or Leupolds. I have had Tascos for 24 years, 3-9 x 40mm, and have never had one fail me. Of course maybe when I got them they were better built. Don't know about any newer Tascos. I have all of my topped off with Butler Creek Blizzard see through scope covers. Since I am reluctant to let go of money, I stick with the Tasco scopes. Not that I can afford the high dollar scopes...being married with two boys I don't have the luxury of buying the higher dollar scopes. So for someone watching a budget, you can't beat Tasco scopes.

Now my son has a Nikon scope and this year it fogged up on him. On the inside, so now it is off to the factory for refurbishing.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Rats. I sent a Nikon Monarch back, they had it for 5 months and did nothing, as far as I can tell. They are off my list.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Leupold VX

RE: Which Scope?
 

im plenty happy with my 6x42mm NcStar i have a few of my rifles topped with one, and i have had absolutely no troubles with any of them. and they are just as crisp and clear as any of my leupolds and nikons and in low light they work great. though I favor leupolds for their lifetime warranty and the fact they are made in the USA, I just cant complain a bit about NcStar optics.
