"bang for buck" dial moa scope recomendations
« on: January 11, 2020, 09:19:22 AM »
I was wanting to try something that I could dial out to 400 + yards and increase my confidence at that range and further (for fun).
I really think I don't need "alpha glass" for a scope, but I do want it solid and always able to accurately go back to zero.

I also want to keep it simple (no custom turrets) and I will keep a 200 yard zero .

I heard a while ago that  "SS" scopes were made very well and under value, but wanted some other opinions.  thank you.

Do you have a budget in mind?

I put a Leupold VX freedom 3x9 with a CDS on my Kimber 270 WSM , I really like it.
zero at 200, figure out your ammo the gun likes , send info to Leupold and they send you a dial.

For $299 the VX Freedom Cds gets you in the game. Id pop another $100 for the 4-12 tho.  But now your up into the price where you can get 4-24’s.  Hmmmm.

No budget in mind, but like I said I do not need "alpha glass",just want a reliable scope that will always track and zero ( more bang for buck than budget).

Just looking for tried and true recommendation's that I can look into.

Any one have any info on SS scopes?

Could be just me but if your getting a dial a distance scope the least they could do is add a parallax adjustment on it. If I'm shooting 300-400 yds plus I want to be able to focus what I'm looking at. :twocents:

For the op have you considered a BDC style reticle. Hold over without the worry of dialing in your distance.

Check out SWFA. Their scopes have a good reputation for being strong and reliable. They are modestly priced.

I'm guessing the SS he is referring to is the swfa ss line of scopes...I could be wrong though.

Buy the best you can afford. The maven scope ive heard is good in the $1000 range. Lots to consider but the options mentioned are good.

The VX6 HD 4-24 is a very nice scope on sale now at $1549 which is $450 off street price but thinking you want to start lower?

I bought one on black Friday. They had a huge sale. I haven't mounted it yet. But it looks solid and the glass looks good. I got the 3-15x42.
