One of the nice features they have is what they call "Rain Guard". It's a coating on the lenses that prevents the scope from becoming too wet or fogged up from rain that you can't see through it.

What's your price range..?
Post by: Mossy on March 11, 2011, 01:57:32 PM
nikon buckmaster is a really good scope, I think its in the $300 range. look at the reviews on it- all good things
Picked one up last year in BDC, on sale for $199 and a $40 mail in rebate. Good scope

Fall City Firearms had a pile of Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 for $219 at their grand opening a week or 2 ago. They said that was $30 cheaper than Cabelas.i have this scope in my 300 wsm. nothing fancy at all but good clear glass. transmits light well.
Depending on your price range, I'd pick the best Leupold you can afford. You will not be disappointed and have a lifetime warranty that they honor well. :twocents:i agree. i can almost say for certian you will be happy with any leupold you buy.. ever :)

Thanks for the input, got a Leupold VX-1 3-9 by 40 yesterday at Sportco for 220.00 impressed with the lifetime warranty, cant wait to mount it and test it out!!!
That's too bad. You could have got the Bushnell I suggested for $20 less, and it's a lot better scope. I like Leupold but you have to get a VX-III to get a scope that's comarable to the Bushnell 4200.
But yes, Leupold's warranty is good.

I totally disagree. Personally, I don't like 4200s. :twocents:

as far as power goes......
a 6x scope makes a 300 yard shot appear to be 50 yards, if you cant take a responsible unmagnified 50 yard shot you probably shouldnt be taking the shot at all. :twocents:

I think FOV is also a much more important aspect of night hunting than people generally thing. The more terrain you have in your FOV in a low light situation, the more you have to compair and contrast against game making them easier to pick out.
