Guest lucky_erickson Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I have been wondering what I should do for a scope on my 7mm Ultra mag, 26in barrel, muzzle brake. I had a VX III 4.5-14 with the boone and crocket reticle but ended up putting that on my 22-250. I was thinking of a scope with something like 6.5-24 power with some type of range finding. Mil-dot, or something similar to the boone and crocket reticle. Any suggestions would be great. Burris, Shepherd, Leupold or other higher end optics.

fisherguy Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? If i was looking to spend $1000 i would be probably either getting a Leupold or a Zeiss. I am sure there are other top end one for that price that some of the other guys( AJ) will be able to better comment on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? I think for what they want that Leupolds are overated and pricey. You should be able get a real decent scope for alot less than a $1000. I would check out Nikons, Swarovski, and Zeiss. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDubWSR Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? You can get yourself a real nice khales with the multi-zero reticle for right around a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousoonerfan22 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? Swarovski scopes are really bright and clear. I wish I could afford one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? I was going to suggest the Nightforce but its not under a grand. For that high of magnification, the Zeiss Conquest would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] You can get yourself a real nice khales with the multi-zero reticle for right around a grand. [/ QUOTE ] I was going to say the same thing. You can get a Kahles 4-12x52 for right at 1000$ or since you want alot of zoom, you can get a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 for 849$ from Bear Basin. I've bought scopes from them before. Very nice customer service their authorized dealers of most of these scope makers & they'll have it at your house as fast as you want it.

Guest ronin Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? Kahles makes a very cool ranging scope. Shepard is another one. I love my VX111 with B&C, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? I would still say the Leupold. They may be pricey but you know they are not going to fail you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But trust me a Zeiss, Kahles or a Swarovski scope are superrior to a Leupold. I have a Vari XIII with a 50mm lense & I've hunted with a Zeiss & Kahles. If you got the money to spend, buy a Kahles or a Zeiss if you hunt very late. Nothing is "wrong" with Leupold scopes but they simply aren't in the same class as the high end European scopes.

Strut10 Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: Under $1000, best scope???? Both my picks for under $1000 are way under $1000. #1. Nikon Titanium around $550 #2. Weaver Grand Slam around $335 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
