Is this a good deal on Scope🤔

[hunter399]

Just looking at some sale items.
I know for most you guys it's not gonna be anything great.
But just asking is this a good option for a cheap scope with turrets.

And yes do plan on putting it on a 243.

Bought a Cabelas scope for my SIL a couple years ago.  He put it on a 30-06 and internals came apart after 3rd shot.  Good luck

If you go cheap, don’t get one with turrets

I’d be wary of that. If you want a turret specific to your rifle I would find a decent scope with either a MIL or MOA turret, doesn’t matter which. Once you get it dialed in there are many websites online that that you enter what scope you have and your bullet information (either hand load info or just the specs on the back of the box for factory ammo) and for 150$ they will laser engrave a custom made turret for your set up or for 49$ they will make you a weatherproof sticker that you stick onto the existing turret. The weatherproof stickers are generally lifetime warranty so if they ever come off they’ll just send you a new one. And the best part of it is on your new turret it will say yardages that you dial for instead of MOA’s or MIL’s. So no need to have a dope card or to be counting clicks on your turret. Just dial and shoot

Thanks for the info.
Thought it might be a lemon.

I bought one of their “instinct euro” scopes a couple years ago on close out.  they were Meopta meopro (Zeiss conquest) scopes with ugly cabelas branding on them. Fantastic glass for around $200 (normally around $600 for a meopro).

With the bass pro takeover, I really doubt that is the case here…my guess is made in China.

[hunter399]

I'm still pretty tempted to just burn the money though.
Got an savage axis 243 the kids don't use anymore.
Was thinking about just slaping that bad boy on there-all budget crap . Make up some handloads this spring that will match the velocity on one of the turrets and see if it will rock it.
Still thinking on it.
I'm sure it is made in china.
Oh and I think I got points too ,so it would be like forty out of pocket.

I would at least go with something with a warranty as you will likely need it.  Cabelas is pretty much cash and carry from my experience.

Vortex Diamondback are worth the $200 or so, sometimes even cheaper on sale and at least they will fix it when it breaks.

I guess that is true.
Well I'll keep looking around.
The off season (right now) so maybe something way better will pop up.
Or I'll just keep the old Bushnell that's on it.

I will be honest and it's not very good with the Cabelas brand scopes I have purchased.  One broke the reticle half way through hunting season and the replacement for it changes point of impact more than a foot from low to high magnification.  I switched over to Nikon and haven't had a problem since.

I have a nikon on one of my other rifles ,they are pretty good for the money,I think they quit making them though.

It's  a crapshoot with Cabelas. I own one which is a Vortex rebranded. Not a bad little scope for $150.00. Sits on a 22 mag rifle.

[hunter399]

Not sure if I'm rolling the dice yet or not.
It's probably better than what's on the rifle currently.
Like said I can pick it up for about forty bucks after my points.
It's says it's like a 200 dollar scope so I might.
