I have picked out a scope for my rifle, I think? How about the Bushnell Trophy 3-12x56? It is $164 which is about all I can afford. Does anyone else have a suggestion for another scope of the same power under or at $150? Anyways if you approve could you please tell me what mount and rings to get. My savage is already drilled and tapped. I want the mount and rings to be outstanding quality but I want to pay $50 for both items combined. Please help a fellow hunter! I need to know. Thank you so much!!!!

56MM is big !


You are going to need high rings = need to lift you head off the stock to see through your eye piece.....................Not good.


IMO 50MM max.......................I use 44MM objective, but I'm 5'6'' - makes for good cheek weld though.

I agree with Sheridan...why such a large objective? I have nothing (on hunting rifles) over 42 mm. There are other choices besides the Bushnell Trophy. Check out the Sightron SI and SII line or the mid-range Vortex scopes.

I agree too... 56mm is like a small telescope!

I have an older Savage 110 that has a weaver base and steel rings. My Bushnell 3-9x40 looks perfect on it, and it's plenty powerful for me.

THats sort of what I thought when i saw the 56. I really wanted the 40 but the scope seemed good and it only came in that size on Amazon.

The sightron start at around $400. THat is way over my price I will pay.

How about the Bushnell Legend 4-12x40mm. It is a little over my price but it seems like a real good scope. ANybody have any comments on this one? I like 3-9 scopes but I just want a scope with a little longer range. Does it matter what kind of mount or rings I get for my rifle? Does it have to say for Savge rifles or for Bushnell scopes? Please help? Do you think a Leupold hunting quick release system? If you have any question for me please feel free to post them! Thank you!!

Can you please tell me what base and rings that you bought for your scope? Do you think the same base and rings would work for my 4-12x40 scope? THanks

Link for the scope everyone!

Nitro,

You never said what caliber your rifle is, but no matter- use "weaver style" bases and rings (and no, they could be any brand).


Warne has a excellent product.

Thank you so much! I may seem stupid to some of you but I just really needed some help on that. My gun is .30-06. I will be getting the 1" rings. Would you recommend low, medium, or high rings? If I get the 2 piece base and the rings will I still need a mount?
