Scope suggestions please

[Bmcox86]

Let me start out by saying I know nothing about scopes, I have never owned one that cost $100 or more.

That being said I'm looking for suggestions on what I should get to put on a 300 win mag. I will be hunting blacktail and white tail, along with bear and hopefully grizzly and caribou eventually. My budget is around $300 plus rings.

Thanks

I think very highly of the vortex diamondback for the money but I think my .300 broke my diamondback. I don't know for sure. They replaced it no questions asked. I'd bump one step up to a Viper but they start around $400. You can't go wrong with a Leupold vx2. I'd get something like a 4.5-14x40.

Have a look at a redfield I fouled up on ebay and got a couple of the revenge scopes with the understanding that they were american made,the advertising on the ebay made no mention of them being made in the phillipines.Look at the revolution,made in oregon with leupold glass.Redfield is owned by leupold.http://redfield.com/riflescopes/

Come to my house one of these days and you can see the Minox ZA5  or Vortex .....I'm very impressed with the Vortex crossfire II 6-18

I second what Jackelope said.........another thing to consider, if you plan on shooting past 400 yards you may want to consider budgeting in something with tactical turrets.

Second the Vortev Viper. Have one on my 300 Ultra. Been everywhere from chasing Alaskan brown bear to giant African Kudu. Dropped off shootting bench, bounced on floor of jeep on the Colockum, sitting in salt water in the botton of a 17' Boston Whaler, and catching dust in an open rack in the Mokapanee bush..never out of zero, never fogged, and always spot on! Have had Leupolds that would not take that kind of abuse!

I'm partial to the Burris scopes, but I have also heard good things about Vortex scopes, too, even though I don't have one.  My last scope was an Alpen, and that seems to be a good scope.  Some guys like Simmons scopes, but that's one brand I'd avoid!

Depends on how you "deploy"

Leupold VX-II in the 3-9x40.

I would shop for a used Leupold VX2 or VX3 4.5x14x40mm.

Thanks, $400 might not be a long shot for a scope, depends how much I get for my gun. I will $275 in cabelas gift cards and a $20 off coupon so I could throw in another 100 or so if it will make a big difference.

[rasbo]

think I paid 299.00 for a leupold 3x9x40 good scope you wont be sorry
