Varmint/Target scope suggestion?
Im in a hunt for a new scope for my Forester, something with a 44-55mm lens, preferably 30mm tube and 6-24 zoom or close to that but i dont want to spend as much as a safari trip for it!
As the hunting stores close to me only sell zeiss and pecar berlin or similar expensive scopes that start in 1000$ ill have to order thru the net and im not familiar with most of the brands!
Im thinking something like 500 bucks or cheaper.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

RE: Varmint/Target scope suggestion?
Arsako,I would suggest the Alaskan Guide 6.5-20 x 52mm with the 30mm main tube sold by Cabela’s. They sell it for $379.99. I have actually looked at this scope at the store and was quite impressed with the optics. There is also the 2.5-10x56mm Nikon Gold that is very clear and has sharp optics but the power is not enough for you’re needs. This scopes sells for $699.99 at Cabela’s. Other then that you will find it hard to get a scope with the requirement you’re asking for without going over $500.00.. Good luck.

I know its in scopes as in most other things, you get what you pay for but these ive found!
Bushnell - Elite 4200 8-32x40 Matte Riflescope w/Rainguard for $499
Nikon - Monarch UCC 6.5-20x44 AO Matte for $469,99
Burris - Fullfield II 6.5-20x50 - Fine Plex Reticle - Matte Finish - Target Parallax Adjustment for $450
Leupold Riflescopes - VX-II 6-18x40mm Adj. Obj. - Matte - Target Dot Reticle for $469,90
Leupold Riflescopes - VX-II 6-18x40mm Adj. Obj. Target - Matte - Wide Duplex Reticle for $490
and ATN - AMT Professional 6-18x65LU Riflescope for $449
These scopes i found on www.binoculars.com/ and the prices seem to be good!
The Leupold scopes are top class but these are not the best scopes in poor light!
The rest i dont know much but look pretty good!
The AMT scope looks good but the price does ring some bells!
So what do you think is the best deal of these?
