need scope

[James Bosley]

this coming hunting season for deer is going to be my first time and i was wondering what kind of scope i should get for a 30-06 if i don't get a good one i will just go out and buy a walmart special just for that season just asking to see what your opinion and see if anyone has one for sale that i can buy would like to keep it under 200.00

I have a brand new Bushnell 3200 elite for sale. Never out on a rifle, new in box. Real clear and bright. The nikon Pro staff is a good one or the Leupold rifleman too. All should be in your price range.

Here is the link to my scope for sale.

I've got this scope on one of Rem 700's for the last 2 years and it has held up really well.  Right now you can get these bino's too and I've heard some good reviews on them.  For $109.00 you can't go wrong.

That's a really good deal on that Pentax Gameseeker. I believe that is the exact same scope as the Burris Fullfield II, which on Jame's other thread I posted a link to one on eBay for $155. This Pentax at Cameraland appears to be a better deal. Only $109, dang I wish I had the money right now I'd buy one just to keep as a spare. I'd recommend for everybody on here who has some extra money to order one of those right now.

Yes pentax is good glass.

[lazydrifter]

Yeah a review I read on them said that the glass looked as good as the older Vari Xll.
I haven't had any complaints with mine.  I think when I bought mine I paid around 129.00 for just the scope.  I see that the Bino's are even broadband coated.

Bosley, that combo deal Lazydrifter mentioned looks like a fine deal for someone new to the sport...plus, later when you can afford to upgrade, you can always use them as your loaner pair ....and if you decide you are not going to continue hunting, you are not out an arm and a leg....

That 3200 Elite the Bucklucky has is a good scope.  Really don't know dinkus about the Pentax scope mentioned.  I've looked through some of the upper end Pentax binos and they were decent but in the price range they were at I wouldn't have bought em.

i own that same scope the 3200 firefly...love it. works great in the rain and when there isnt much light available(early morning,late afternoon, and overcast) you should take a look at it and i think he has a really good price on it.

Hey, Doug at Camera Land just released another big deal on those Pentax.

If your looking for something reasonable but still get some quality you can't go wrong here.

Leupold VXII 3X9 is a awesome choice for an .06.  It will run you over your budget a $100 or so but it's worth it.  Do it right the first time!
