keepin it simple
that is exactly what I decided to do: keep it simple. I have a decent scope (simmons 3x9) on my 308 (remington model 600-made in 67) and I rarely have it turned up past 5 (hunting same area) So I do believe a fixed 4Xpower with a 40mm objective lense is what I want. It doesn't really make cents to pay extra for features that will never get used.
Everbody knows leopold does make a good quality scope.I also believe when you cross the 100-150 dollar threshold most scopes will do just fine(there are excpetions to this). Btw, the gun went on layway today.It will be all mine by the 25th of January.:D :D :D Anyone ever heard of or used BSA scopes????Here is there website: www.bsaoptics.com .Some of their stuff looks pretty interesting. |

Its down to 2 choices
Went out and looked at scopes today.I got it narrowed down to 2 brands: Leupold and Nikon. Looking through them, it is really hard to tell any differences.The price diff is 30 bucks with the leupold being the more expensive.Keeping that in mind, I will probably get the leupold to help support the economy in oregon.(Leupolds are made about 2 1/2 hrs up I-5 from where I live.)Thanks for the help guys:) :)

Check www.cabelas.com They have the Vari XII 3x9 for $189. Cheapest I've seen.

BSA Is Crap, I went through 3 of them in 3 weeks. They Kept Breaking. 2 of them had a lens turn sideways inside after a shot another fogged up inside.
I have my 6-18, 50mm objective bushnell and I've had ZERO problems |
yep
Cabelas does have good prices on their scopes.189 is 30 bucks cheaper than it can be had locally.Another place is that www.cheaperthandirt.com place.Can't wait for the 25th to get here........

Re: Hunters: rifle and scope question
Originally posted by lightningcrashz I will need something with big eye relief for quicker sight in of the deer,additionally the length shots I have are quite similar to what shotgun huntuers using slugs have. Beats me...........Any suggestions |
oh no, opie
you shot this deer up the big brown eye looking at you? Hey whatever it takes man.My grandpa was notorious for this exact shot.He has a total of 5 deer taken this way. At any rate, I will get the scope (Luepold)with my vacation check in June.I might just have to put a few bullets through it between now(Jan 25th) and then just for the fun of it.
