RE: Help me decide on a scope in the $200 - $300 range
Here is a link to a Nikon 4 x 12 x 50 for 285.00 with free shipping. It is an online merchant, with whom I have done business. I recommend them. I have this scope and love it. It is the newer style with the side focus parallax adjustment.

yes, all products are new. I am about to buy another of the above named nikons for a new rifle I am getting. I have also bought a nikon 440 rangefinder from them. I called and spoke to them when I bought it, and they are kind of a mom and pop business looking to make a few dollars per sale. Really nice people. And they have free shipping on all rifle scopes and other products too. All products are new, and have full factory warranty. And my 4x12x50 nikon has thus far worked flawlessly since the start of last years seasons.

If you're able to...
go back to the gun store, and check out the scopes side-by-side. Try to do it near dusk, so you can get an idea how they perform in low light. Once you've made your choice, then you can check the prices on the internet. Just my $.02. FC |

ORIGINAL: KonaBoy ORIGINAL: npaden I know eye relief is better with the 3-9x and I'm not going to be shooting over 400 yards so the 9x would be adequate for that, but when you are out walking with just you and your gun often I've used the rifle scope as a spotting scope and the higher magnifications can really help with that. |

ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM Safety is the reason why you shouldn't use a rifle scope as an identification optic. How do you know that behind what appears to be a deer isn't a hunter, house, etc? Use your binos instead, rifle scope is a site tool so it should be used when your are wanting to shoot not look!! I typically would use the rifle scope to help me figure out whether the buck was worth walkinganother mileto try to stalk or not. I wouldn't be looking at it to figure out if it was a deer or another hunter. That is why I was wondering if the 14x would help over the 9x - I would be looking at points, etc. trying to figure out if the deer was going to be worth the effort or not. |

Go for a Sightron SII 3-12x42mm. Great scope for $299, and the best warranty in the business!

Yoursaying your the only one who hunts in eastern montana??? If you can't identify if the deer is big enough how can you postively identify what is beyond the deer? How would you like to be binos up and see a rifle pointed in your direction by a hunter who happened to be viewing an animal in line with you but didn't happen to notice your where even there???Control your muzzle means ensuring it is pointed in a safe direction at all times, yesthis includes horizontally and brings in another golden rule with firearm saftey know your target and beyond!! Safety first, these are not toys! |
