Tikka T3 .270 Win. just purchased looking for a good elk/deer scope for it??

:dunno:The rifle is a Tikka,not made in the usa.Why would he care where the scope is made?

Leupold VX 2 or VX 3, best scopes for the money, AND best of all, made in the USA.

He may not care but it's important to me. Especially since there's nothing better for the price and you can't beat the warranty. My dad just bought a Leupold scope at a garage sale for $50. The reticle was broken. He sent it in to Leupold and had it back in less than two weeks, it's now just like new. Why not support a company in our neighboring state, and all the people they employ?

also though i will not lie i am a die hard leupold guy but vortex makes some very nice glass thats what i set my brothers 7mm up with and its a nice scope

Burris or Nikon for me.
I just bought a Nikon Monarch 3-12 with BDC.
Great glass and very usable mag range.
Too many Leupold failures for me to feel comfortable owning one.

thanks everyone for the help hoping to do some research on the scopes you pointed out and make my choice next month to get ready for HUNTING SEASON

I've never had an issue with Leupold, but from what I've heard, their customer service is great.  My own personal preference is a VX-3 2.5-8x.

I put a Meopta next to a leupold a couple times.  now the only lupy I see being worth the money is the redfield line. Nikon and vortex have a much better price point for glass very similar to lupy.

Here are two options with the German schott glass used in the zeiss.
