too_pointer Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? hoyt, you really need to shop around, and look through different scopes. Your price range really limits you.! You bought a great muzzleblaster, and now you want to put a cheaper scope on it Triple gave you a good idea on your $ range, but also said it might be lacking in the clarity department. If you even spend $50 more you can get a much better scope. Check out the Nikons, or other good brands. I think in the long run you might be happier. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? In my opinion the Bushnell Elite 3200 series, or the Nikon ProStaffs are the two best scopes for the $$$. I am a huge fan of the 3200, but walking out of the woods at dusk one night this season, my bro was bragging about how bright his 2x7x32 prostaff was. I looked through my 3x9x40 Bushnell 3200, and then his Prostaff, and was shocked by the difference. The nikon gathered much more light. I love my 3200, but am going to try a prostaff on my next gun. You honestly won't be dissapointed with either scope. You will be better off saving up an extra $50, or $75, and buying one of these scopes. Take a look on ebay. There are always brand new scopes on there, 20% to 30% cheaper than the catalogs. Good luck with your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? If you really onlt want to spend $100.00 for a scope, then I would get a fix four Nikon Pro-Staff. I would spend a little more and get a Weaver Classic V 3x9x38 or a Leupold VX1...

smo Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? Don't go for the cheap scopes, they will mess your eyes up. Burris, Leupold, Nikon all make good scopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugger Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? If you Can afford to spend $129(i think thats what they are in RedHead) I would go for a bushnell ledgend 2-7x32 it has 91% light transmission. I am pretty sure thats the most you are going to get for under$200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? I suggest waiting and saving up some more money to buy a better scope. You can get a Tasco 3-9x40 World Class scope for $50 and they have a $10 rebate on them. Personally, I would take that over a Bushnell. I have a few Tasco WC scopes. They will not last forever, but it will get you shooting until you can afford a better scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] The pro staf IMO is the best scope for under $200. You can get them on ebay for under 150 for a 3-9X40 in camo. The fixed 4 would be my choice if I were buying a scope for my ML. If you want to go cheap, I would get a red dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Re: Ok the Omega it is, now which scope? [ QUOTE ] & Prostaffs by Nikon. My experiences with both were fine until I did something too often with them. The Prostaff will increasingly focus-degrade when using it at the range alot to switch from 3-power to 9. That's a pain in the butt when target-checking. I still have another Prostaff. It's clear as a bell since Nikon ownership changed a couple/three years ago. I put it on a cartridge rifle so I'm not constantly testing anything with it. It stays on 3-power just about all the time because I don't need to do range work with it anymore. It's perfect for the environment. [/ QUOTE ] So is this a problem with older Pro-staffs? I've got 2, one is new, the other is less than 2 years old. Mine usually stay on 9x. With the ample eye relief, I raraly have it set any lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
