Is this a good deal on Scope🤔

[cem3434]

If the optic is that "cheap" and you still feel the need to ask if it's a good deal, well I think you answered your own question. Might be good for a rimfire rifle, but I wouldn't trust it on a high power center fire rifle.

That is true,it is pretty cheap.
Just be on a beat up rifle,truck gun,or loaner rifle ,or I may even gift the scope to family or friend.
It's hard for me to turn something down that's on sale.
I think they are clearing out inventory of these,basicly discontinue them,to make room for more expensive,higher end models.
They can't sell you a 600 dollar turret scope.
If they have a 100 dollar one sitting in the case right next to it. Cheap guys like me won't pull the trigger on the 600 one.

I have a Cabela's "Alaskan Guide" 3x12x40 on my .300 WinMag.  It's been on there since 2010, and it's been a fantastic scope.  I paid just under $300 bucks for it.  I don't even think they offer that line of scopes anymore.

Before Bass Pro ruined them I had faith in the Cabelas Optics.  I had a couple of Alaskan Guide scopes and a pair of ALaskan Guide Binos.  Lifetime warranty. 

The binos were about 16 years old and the eye cups were cracking, still clear and bright and in great shape otherwise.  I took them in to Cabelas in Tulalip and they told me that they were so old they wouldn't repair them but they exchanged them on the spot.  Just grabbed a pair of similar (the ones I had were no longer available) off the shelf and took me to customer service.  I bought the original ones for $299 in 1999 and the ones they replaced them with were $459 in 2015.  Unfortunately the newer ones broke last year (the objective broke off at the threads where the objective attaches to the body of the binos).  I took them in and they told me that Bass Pro no longer honored the warranty (they were not impressed with the way it was handled from what I saw and heard).  The manager of the optics dept was very nice and said he could give me a pair of Cabelas optics or Vortex at a discount based on the trade in of mine and the binos I chose actual cost to them.  Obviously the Cabelas branded would have been a much greater discount but he said that the Vortex would be a lifetime warranty and the Cabelas would be disposable....  I basically got a pair of Vortex for about $250 off.  This was at the Union Gap store.

I wouldn't buy any Cabelas branded optic if I could help it as they are truly disposable now.

I wouldn't bet on it, they seem to be closing out on Cabelas branded hunting and shooting stuff to focus on clothing and fishing gear.  There are several things that got closed out to never return.  I would be surprised to see them still selling their optics in a year, who would buy them when you have virtually no warranty, spare parts or a way to fix even the most simple thing?  The optics market is so competitive there really isn't much room unless someone offered something at an even better price with equivalent warranty.  Cabelas used to, but Bass Pro doesn't want to honor warranties and or even be competitive on prices in general.

This is a very good, lower priced scope. Something to consider when you’re shopping.

So I talked with another friend that has a multi turret scope from cabelas .
He said it would not be his first choice.
But said it comes with like 5 or 6 elevation turret to match factory ammo off the shelf.

Look into athlon scopes I have a few of them and like them.

Sorry guys ........
I know a lot of head shakes and ugly faces.
But I pulled the trigger already.
79.99 - my 40.00 in points for a 40.00 dollar scope hard for me to pass up.
They went back up to 99.00 for the 243 model I got,199.00 for all the others.
Which some of you guys know that was the price when I posted link 79.99.
So here it is in all its junky glory ,40 dollars out of pocket shiped free to my house,better than the beater Bushnell that sits on the savage axis 243 I got now.

Made in 🇨🇳 for sure,deer won't know difference.
