I bought a remington model 700 SPS 7mm-08 from a buddy of mine last year and its just been sitting in the safe ive decided to get a scope for it and i was looking for some suggestions on a good scope to get without breaking the bank.

How much are you looking to spend and what magnification are you looking for? If I was looking for a new 3-9X scope right now in the $200-250 range, I would buy a Vortex Diamondback. $300 could get a Vortex Viper 3-9X. I have a Vortex Viper in 2-7X and it is an awesome scope for the money. You can look at some internet sites like OpticsPlanet, SWFA, and Natchez and see some pretty good deals and demo scopes. Good luck!

I agree with each of the above comments. I do not have a Vortex, but one guy I hunt with does and really likes his for the $$$. I do have an Elite 4200 (not the 3200) . It surprised me how good it performs. I don't that Bushnell's "model" naming includes either of these models. But I would be surprised that their new line is not a good value as well. As for Leupold, their Veri X-II has long been acclaimed as a great value. I have the older Veri-X III's. These two have been very good values.
If you have the coin, you should be able to find a good buy in the Ziess Conquest 40 mm. 3-9's. This line of scopes in my book is one of the best values out there.
