AJ Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: optics It depends, what do you consider to be affordable? Do you want to stay under $200, $300, or ? For just over $100 you can get a Simmons 3-9x42 Whitetail Expedition. This is Simmons top of the line scope. SWFA Sample List For just under $200 you can get the Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 with free 20x spotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: optics I really like Nikon optics. I have a Nikon ProStaff 3-9X40 on my .22 Mag and it is an awesome scope. It's about $150. Double that ($300) and you can get a Nikon Monarch. In my opinion, because of personal experience, optics are one thing you CAN'T go cheap on. I've already busted one scope on my .30-06 which was a cheap Simmons. I've had two pairs of 10X42 Simmons and Tasco binoculars go junk on my, because they were cheap. Get good, quality optics and you'll be happy in the long run, with optics that hold up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danewguy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: optics Another option might be the Sightron SII. I have been reading great things about these scopes and was considering putting one on my 30-06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: optics i have a nikon buckmaster 3x9x40 which has 88%light transmission and i have also been looking at the bushnell brand as well since i have been using their yardage pro 500 for about 5 years and never had a problem with it. i am also looking for a new or newer scope for my blackpowder after this season. the one i have now is just not clear enough for me rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
