Need a new scope 350 dollar budget
« on: November 30, 2009, 06:15:06 PM »
Just picked up a fn PBR xp in 300 wsm.  I need to outfit it with a scope. I am looking for a quality unit but not really needing a Tactical unit like the leopould mkIv.

Any recomendations and why would be greatly appriciated.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

leupold vxII

:yeah:

I agree 100%.  I own 2 of them and they're great for the money.  If you mash one, Leupold has great customer service and you can get a new one, too.

Leupold or Burris.....I would go for a top end VX III/gold ring or a Signature even if used with no marks.    Any model will be great for the rest of your life.  Made in America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under $350? Used Leupold 3-9x40, 4-12x42 VXII or VXIII.  You can't go wrong with a true lifetime warranty. No, it's not a Swaro or Zeis, but still good ole American quality.
