Looking to Get A New Scope
 

I was wondering if any of ya'll had any suggestions on scopes. I currently shoot a Mossberg 4 x 4 in the .270 caliber. The scope that came with the gun is a Mossberg made scope. It is a 3 x 9 x 40. Right out of the box I could tell it was a cheap scope, so I am looking to put a new/nicer scope on the gun. I am looking for something a little higher in zoom and something with a bigger objective (preferably 50). I have looked at the Simmons Aetec. The price range I am looking at is between $150 and $250. Any other suggestions.

I have a Simmons Aetec on my Ruger M77 7mag and really like it.... nice scopes. Check out BSA scopes... I have a BSA Contender on my Savage 10fp Tacical .260 sniper gun and absolutely love it. Very clear scope, great zoom and stays pretty lit during low light situations. You can get a nice Contender for about $175

I have a Simmons Atec....it served me well. It works great as long as you dont use on full power....at full power it's blurry now. Not sure why.

BSA scopes are made for air rifles and 17hmr/22 type calibers. a large caliber gun can knock it off zero with the recol. I would look at www.swfa.com and try and find a factory referbushed Nikkon buckmaster. if i were you, i would get a better scope in a 40-44mm vs getting a cheaper piece of glass in a 50mm

Are you being serious?? BSA are only made for air rifles and .22's??? BSA makes alot of scopes for everything. I have a .260 with a BSA on it and it has worked perfect for me, never and I mean never have I ever had a problem with it.

expense factor.

id look at swift or pentax. i own and use both. pentax is super clear, and the swift hass served me well. both around 120 and have lifetime warranty. guy told me if u drop it and it looks like you took a hammer to it, bring it in and il give you a new 1. cant beat that

I bought new Simmons Atec last month off Ebay for $91 and free shipping

RE: Looking to Get A New Scope
 

Nikon Pro Staff hands down for that price

I got to tell ya. I got the Bushnell elite 4200 and it is the way to go for the money.

RE: Looking to Get A New Scope
 

I second that!! I have one on my SPS and love it.

RE: Looking to Get A New Scope
 

Ive always had great luck with Bushnell.

I had one Simmons Aetec fail, luckily not on a shot at deer! For 150.00 I'd go with the Nikon Pro Staff. Bump it up to 200.00 and you can get a Nikon Buckmaster! You can't get a better scope for 200.00 than the Buckmaster! Stay away from Simmons, Trashco and even the low-end Leupolds!

I think Nikon is the best value for the dinero.
