NEED HELP

[eastsidemallard74]

Newer Modern Hunter.....I am looking at updating a scope I have.Don't know the model,think it's a Bushnell.Anyways, I have a .270 Short mag Remington.I hunt mainly deer in Eastern Wa. on opened up land. I want a biiger scope to see out 300yrds or more. I know it's a long shot but it's doable.Anyway my budget is about 200-250 max.Any help,suggestions would be great.

What magnification is currently on your rifle?

I personally think most guys get too hung up on needing a huge scope for their rifle.

The largest scope I currently own is a 2-7x33. I don't shoot at game this far,but I've ranged deer at 500yds and for my eyes,7x would be plenty.

see this is the stuff I need to find out about.I bought a cabelas special scope/rifle combo for 399.I like the rifle does what I need,just want to be able to scope out farther and get shots out at 300yds.Last year we were into a butt load of deer and they were out 200-250yrds.Couldn't pick out the bucks until they crested the hill after shooting hours.A little frustrating

I've been checking out the vortex scopes very good price great warranty and good glass.

[chinookie23]

if you can find one in your price range or a used one go with a Leupold. the best hunting scopes for the money and have been around for a long tiime. IMO. warranty is good to whoever owns the scope. my buddy bought one at a garage sale that was broken sent it in and bang get it back all flixed up $25.00 vari-x 11 3x9.

Are you searching for deer through your scope?  You really should have a very good set of bino's to prevent a mistake in counting points.

My wife's '06 has a Leupold 4x on it, and I've shot critters at 300 yards with it.  I would think a 3-9 is plenty.  Get good binos and use them.

I recommend the Leupold VX II in a 3-9x40.

It's slightly over your budget at $271, but you'll never need to buy another scope for the rest of your life, unless you just want to.

This scope is the equivalent of the old Vari X III, which is what I have in a 3.5-10x40, and my scope used to sell for around $450.

The VX II at $271 is a bargain. Just a great scope for the money, AND it's made in the USA! You just can't beat it.

I really like the Burris Fullfield II, 3x9.  I put one on a .30-06 10yrs ago (loved it).  2 years ago I bought another new Fullfield II, 3x9 to put on my Kimber .300 WSM.  I love the glass for the price ($210?).  I compared it side by side to the Leupold VX 3x9, and couldn't tell any difference.

I like to plink the .300wsm out to 500yrds (about the max for me due to magnification accuracy).  But I am very confident at shooting at big game out to 350yrds with the 3x9.

I also have a Burris Fullfield II in a 3-9. Good scope for the money. You can find them sometimes for as low as $150.

Anything farther than 200 yds, ide go with at least a 14x, or maybe im blind.
