Scope opinion

[MW]

I am 11 year's old my dad will let me have his 25-O6 if I get a good quality scope do you have any recommendations ? My dad said no cheep tasco scope

I like the Leupold VX-II in a 3-9x40. Great scope for the money and made in the USA.

Cabelas has a sale currently on a Nikon 3-9x40 Buckmaster scope for $129. For the money, that's a good value.

I did a quick check and the cheapest I could find it elsewhere was on Amazon for $219.

whats your budget? What are your future plans with the rifle?

FYI, VX-II is a discontinued line as of 2012. It was replaced by the VX-2 line. Similar but some minor differences. You might can find some deals on a VX-II scope since it's discontinued.

What kind of 25-06, and does it have rings and a base?

I like the way your Dad thinks BTW.

Very good scope. As good as the Leupolds mentioned in my opinion. Ive had one on a Ruger 7mm for many years with no issues. Good clear scope. Gathers as much light as the mentioned Leupys

My budget is about $250 bucks

Here's a good scope that's made in the USA and $50 under your budget:

I second the redfield revolution.  They are made in USA and I have two and have had no problems with them.  They are made by Leupold.

I will most likely use it for big game hunting.

Nikon makes a good scope. Can also look at Redfield (aka cheap Leupold) and then a Leupold VX2 or even VX1. The new VX2s are supposed to be on par with the old VXIIIs and the new VX1 is supposed to be about the same as the old VXIIs.

Thank you for all your advice
