Guest lilcrackshot Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I am looking for a good quality scope at a low price. It is going to go on a Model 760 in 30-06. Shots are 200 yds and under. What do you reccomend. I saw a nice Tasco World Class and was considering that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DrewG Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Re: Scope choice Personally I would recommend high quality optics. This doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive, however I would go with a scope with a lifetime warranty. Nikon makes a 3x9x40 prostaff that has generous eye relief and quality glass. It is also reasonably priced at around 150. I am a firm believer that your gun is only as good as your scope, so try and get the best that you can.

Shaun_300 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Re: Scope choice I like the Bushnells, My cousin bought a 7600 in a .30-06 and he has a Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40, he took 2 deer with it last year! My brother has the same one on his Browning BLR .270 Win. Neither of them have any complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str8shooter48 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Scope choice Sightron SII 3x9x42. Outstanding scope for $200.Super clear and bright, with great eye relief and a lifetime replacement warranty. I put one on my Encore 308win bbl a few weeks ago. I took it to the range and a couple of guys there checked out my setup. They said they never heard of Sightron Scopes, but after a look through it they were impressed. I like it so much I'm going to replace the Bushnell I have ontop of my Encore 209x50 bbl before next deer season. I Bought mine at Midway USA. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=868254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: Scope choice I have Nikon Prostaff and Buckmasters, and really like them. I also have used the Tasco World class and it has been o.k. for me. I do think the Nikons are a much better scope for the money though. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Scope choice Another vote for Nikon. You can pick up a Nikon pro-staff at Wal-mart for under $120. If you can swing a few more dollars...go with the Buckmasters. You didn't give a price range in your "low price" post...thats why I suggested the pro-staff. I've got a few Tasco's which fit my need at the time...they all did the job...however, with the price of the Nikon's...I will prob. never own another Tasco.

tedicast Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Scope choice Nikon Prostaff, or Bushnell Elite 3200. You can't go wrong with either, and they are both great values for the $$$. I own both and love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Re: Scope choice Leupolds are every bit as good as Nikon IMO, but you'll spend more money for the same quality Leupolds over Nikon. Pro-staf is aboiut $50 cheaper than the low end leu. That's 4 boxes of 25-06 shells, or a really good set of rings and a nice shoulder strap. I'm cheap.

Guest cowpoke Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Scope choice Another fan of Nikon Scopes here. I have some buckmasters, prostaffs and 1 monarch. They have all behaved very well. they all have lifetime warranties as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Scope choice I've had a VX-II on my 06 for the last 17 years. Been on a bunch of backcountry horse trips in a scabbard and other calamities and have never had zero move on me. It replaced a Bushnell Sportview which would lose zero if you farted too violently. Also have a couple of Burris Fullfield II's which I like very much. BM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
