remington 700 VTR .223 Scopes????
 

I have a Rem. 700 VTR .223 and have a scheels close by. Any thoughts on a scope for around $300-$400? Weather a scheels brand is good or not?

Thanks

Take a good look at the Sightron SII scopes. The 4X16 would make a great scope for that rifle. It is definitely in your price range. I have one on a CZ 204 Ruger, and it does a great job for a moderately priced scope. The scope also tracks very well. I bought mine from Larry Scott off the varmint hunters forum. He is a good guy to deal with. Tom.

I use Burris Signature Select 4X-16X 44MM on my .204


Take a look on here;

Another choice is the 4-16 X 40 Bushnell Elite 4200.

I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 5x15x50 on one varmint rig, the other wears a Nikon Buckmaster 6x18x40. Both of which are in your price range.

tell us how it shoots they look like sweet shooters

I have the VTR in .223 with digital camo.
I put a Leupold VXII 4x12-40mm with LRD reticle on it for $429
I wish I would have spent the extra money and put the 6x18x40 on it with LRVD reticle ($549) but Cabelas was out when I went to buy it.
I'm planning on doing that upgrade next year.

Question: What do you intend to do with the gun? Hunting or target shooting? If the gun is to be used for hunting are you planing on hunting coyote or smaller varmits?

How open is the terrain in which you plan on hunting if that is what you plan to do with the gun?

I went with a scheels paragon 4-18x56 mildot. Paid $399. Mostly target but will go for coyotes too(200-300yrds) and hopefully some p-dogs. So far clear and good tracking. I like the over the no questions asked counter warranty(if I ever need it).

Shoots good so far. Had 3/4"-1" groups after sight in at 100yrds. temps. were around 10-12 above with 3-5 mph breeze. I might have been shivering a little on those groups though.

P.S. With the muzzle break, earplugs are a must.

With the VTR, ear muffs or plugs are a must period unless you don't care about your hearing. They are very loud.
