rifle scope

Postby W Vaughan » Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:25 pm

I have to buy a new scope for my rifle this year. Looking for a good scope in the 300 dollar range. Any opinions?

Check out Mueller Optics. Only available online as far as I know, but I've been very pleased with their products and they are FAR cheaper than most other brands. I would compare my Mueller to my Nikon in quality!

You can get a great Nikon for that money.. I have been using the Protaff's for a few year and they run in the 200 dollar range.. I would go with the Nikon Buckmaster or Monarch..

I have a Vari XIII 3.5x10x50mm that I will sell for $400 if you want to spend a little more in Madison.

I put a Nikon Buckmaster on my .35 whelen barrel last year and it was around 300. Very nice for the money.

Leupold Vx II would be my first choice for that amount of money. Then my second would be a Nikon.
