Zeiss 3x9 Conquest on Wby 257mag .

RE: Which Scope?
 

Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44mm mounted on a custom Ruger .338 win. Exceptional scope. Have only put 20 rounds through since purchasing the scope, but so far am more than impressed with clarity,brightness and quality...

RE: Which Scope?
 

My Favorite gun/scope combo is a DWM Mauser model 1909 (argentine)that my grandfater, who was a talented gunsmith, built up for me. He chambered it is .300 Winmag, put a nice Oklahoma Walnut stock on it, a custom barrel and drilled and tapped it. It wears a Docter Optic 3-9a40 scope made in germany with warne rings. With his loads, Itcan shoot 7/8" groups. It weighs 7.3 lbs. He made it for me back when I was a hippy and I had no interest in guns, being at that time a raging liberal. He is gone now and never got to see me get interested in guns and hunting. But I am taking the Mauser on it's first hunt in October. If I get an elk this year, I know he would be pleased.
Sorry, I ramble

RE: Which Scope?
 

I shoot a Nikon Monarch, Leupold Vari X 3, and Zeiss Conquest pretty regularly, but the Zeiss' optics are brighter and crisper. Also, the eye relief is constant at all powers.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Leupold Mark 4, 3.5-10x40 an outstanding scope!

RE: Which Scope?
 

i have a BUSHNELL ELITE 4200 ..2.5-10X40MM with rainguard for hunting ..

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Bushnell 3200 10x40 on my Springfield M1A "Loaded", will be moving to a IOR 10x56 when I get the money, working on a stock upgrade first.

RE: Which Scope?
 

scope again is not a high end thing for me. i look for something that is more my money worth and can afford being disabled does have it;s draw backs. i like thenikon buckmaster scope it is nice scope and is vewry clear and does well in light transmission and i liked the atec from simmons which is what my dad still uses and i have been looking at the burris which is another scope that is really coming up
lots of toys and have to try what fits my money situation.
now if someone feels compelled to buy me a leupold vari111 or a swarsoki i will gladly put it on my encore lol

RE: Which Scope?
 

Anyone tried Leupold's VX-III Boone and Crockett reticle? Looks interesting.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Why no Nikons? And the new Mueller?

RE: Which Scope?
 

Leupold Vari-X III 3.5 x 10 x 50. It sits atop a Browning A Bolt Micro Hunter that is chambered in 7mm-08.

RE: Which Scope?
 

which scope depenes on what gun it go's on ,the bolt guns leupol & nikons but the ARs,the 223 has a spring feild armery the 762X39 has a T/C 3x9 that tc is one tuff scope i think it could hold up to a BB gun, i did try leupol & nikons on the ar's but they would not hold a zero the hand guns have burris

RE: Which Scope?
 

On my 7mm I have a Bushnell Trophy 3X9X40 and I really like it. The best scope I have though is on my muzzleloader and that is a Thompson Center 3X9X40. It really picks up the light well and is crystal clear.

RE: Which Scope?
 

tasco 3-9x40 on my remington 700 .223

RE: Which Scope?
 

leupold vari x 11 3-9X40 is what i have on my rifle. do they even make those amy more i cant find them.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Nikon makes a good scope with exellent light transmission...better than some of the Leuopolds.

RE: Which Scope?
 

i've always preferred leupold, however i bought my weatherby from a close friend and it already had a swift scope mounted on it. the swift is nice and this combo drives nails. one things for sure with rifle scopes, you get what you pay for.

Zeiss 4.5 x 14 x 44

leupold VX111 4.5-14X50sf matte varmint ret.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I like Leupold but Burris is also a nice scope.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Nikon

RE: Which Scope?
 

VX III 3.5x50 B&C Reticle - Love it
VX II 3x9x40 - Duplex --- -Love it
Wind River Cascades 10x42------Love 'em
Golden Ring Bino's 10x42 ---Unbelievable!!

Leupold has never let me down - customer service like no other.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Nikon Monarch: Clear optics,strong 1 piece scope barrel, lifetime unconditional warranty, stays on target round after round (unlike some of the scopes listed). I'm happy with it.

RE: Which Scope?
 

NIKON is my choice. But I will tell you this. I would hunt without a scope before I hunted with a redfield.I have had more problems with them and they will not stand behind their product. Okay I know some of you are going to come back and say they are great, they fixed my scope when I sent it to them. But what if they didnt fix it after 2 trys so now you want them just to replace it. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Also you Tasco loves. I also was in love with Tasco until Busnell bought them and Busnell will not up hold the Tasco Warranty. Sorry just thought Id give you guys some input.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I REALLY LIKE THE NIKONS MY SELF. LATELY HOWEVER I HOW BEEN USEING BURRIS SCOPES AND FROM WHERE IM SITTING THEY ARE THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER USED. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING COST YOU CAN GET THERE FULLFEILD II LINE FOR AROUND $200 THEY HOLD ZERO PERFECTLY AND ARE A BIT BRIGHTER THAN LEUPOLD'S THAT I HAVE OWNED ALSO CLEAR ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGES OF THE RETICAL ALSO LIKE THE BALLISTA PLEX

RE: Which Scope?
 

I havehad great success with the Leupold 4.5 by 14.5 Vari X III Long range 50mmobj. 30 mm tube side focus model!!!!

I used it out west and in the mountains and it works great!!!!

Sometimes it better to have the scope cost more than the gun.

RE: Which Scope?
 

whoops i lied,,,at first i was thinking of which is in my opion which is the best..I can not afford a ziess..if i could i would forsure have one on my rifle. i have a tasco. am going to up garde very soon though...any thoughts on the below 200 dollar budget?

RE: Which Scope?
 

how long have I been wanting to say that? you hit the nail on the head.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I havent gone thru all these posts, but from some skimming, I didnt see anyone mention a Super Sniper. I dont know if they are actually made by Tasco any longer but anyone who tries them swears by them. I have several atop my rifles and couldnt ask for more. At $300.00, they compete with leupold Tacticals 3x its price. Longrange shooters/snipers have their reviews up all over the net if interested.

If its good enough for tactical use, then its more than enough for hunting. Some say too much is bad for hunting, but that stigma needs to go away, and fast. The adjustable objective models are supposed to come out soon for those interested in a non fixed model.

You can only get them www.riflescopes.com by the way.

Other than that, in the past Ive used Bushnell Banners, Bushnell Rangemasters, Nikons, Tascos you can buy in the stores, and a couple Leupold models(non tactical).

Currently the Super Snipers are sitting atop a Rem 700 VLS .308, Rem 700 VS .308, Rem 700 LSS .300wm, Rem 700 Sendero SF 7mm.

I'll get another for Rems re-introduction of the Sendero line due in a few weeks, and put the AO model on the Rem 700 CDL SF Ltd. in .30-06 I want to pick up.

The parallax adj. allows you to shoot as close as 15 yards so its not a problem being fixed models, unless all of your animals you're hunting are super close most of the time :D

too much interferance w/ the reticle i think at at close range ..have not ever owned it looked through it at the store nd just what i thought. nice looking scope though.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Simmons will always be on my rifles. Seems I have owned two bushnells over the years and both were sent back to the factory, the second one I told them they could keep. By chance bought a Simmons and never had an ounce of trouble. Bumped them and still shooting in bull......so just hard to switch. Except I do wish they would make a scope that was a little longer!
