Advice on hunting scopes with quality turrets
Dogmanscott:
A leupold vx 3 is the best value for the money. How dead is dead?
I have a win super grade .270 that shoots a 5/8 group at a hundred yards with a 1980s Burris 3x9.
I have a Austen Halleck .50 muzzleloader that shoots a 5/8 group at 150 with iron sights.
I have a kimber mountain rifle in 6.5 creedmoor that shoots 3/4 at a 100 yards with the vx 3 .
So again how dead is dead?? A rest, practice, finding the right load , and shot placement is more important. Buy a quality rifle. Buy the best sights that are legal. Practice until you have achieved the rifles accuracy or limitations. Then go shoot that buck or bull at 46 yards. Just saying, Scott

All true and sage advice. I do shoot and practice a lot and shoot very well and all my rifles shoot very accurate but I am looking for a better scope though, thanks for your input

This is no longer a matter of opinion, go check out the scope evaluations done on Rokslide. The only manufacturers that passed were Nightforce, Trijicon, Aimsight and SWFA. Not what people want to hear but there’s guys over there shooting thousands of rounds so that we can all make the most informed decisions on our gear. Good luck.

I looked at some of them the other day but for some reason I cant find them on the site. User error for sure
BeerBugler:
Go to Rokslide, click on the “forum” tab, open the search, type in the scope you are curious about then the word evaluation (Trijicon credo evaluation) then enter Formidulosus for the member name (he’s the one doing the evaluations).
