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.

With the bass pro takeover, I really doubt that is the case here…my guess is made in China.
Post by: hunter399 on January 03, 2022, 07:13:08 PM
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.

Vortex Diamondback are worth the $200 or so, sometimes even cheaper on sale and at least they will fix it when it breaks.
Post by: hunter399 on January 03, 2022, 07:41:36 PM
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.I guess that is true.
Vortex Diamondback are worth the $200 or so, sometimes even cheaper on sale and at least they will fix it when it breaks.
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 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.

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. :twocents:
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.

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.

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.

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.

I bought a cabelas caliber specific for my .22, cross hairs fell out after about ten rounds.It's going on the gun today maybe,this spring I will take out,sight in and report back.
