I've had good luck with Burris. I have three, one I fell on it and sent it back after I could not get it to group. Burris repaired it for free even when I did not send in the warranty card.


Ill second Burris. Get the Fullfield II and you wont be disapointed. Lifetime warranty and in my opinion far superior to the low end Leupolds. If your going to buy a leupold dont waste your money with anything less than a VX-III. There are better products for the price.  :twocents:

If I remember right, Akashasdaddy ended up with a Nikon Prostaff after returning a Redfield. 
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I guess its like ford vs chevy. ive had my "low end" leupold on my rifle for 10 years now without a problem and the new "low end" leupold on my 300 replaced a Burris fullfield II. I couldnt stand that scope.  :twocents:

I would consider a leopold, its what i use, or a Nikon with the BDC. My cousin has one for his lever 06 and it rocks!  I think bang for the buck nikon is pretty good. I did have a great experience with a burris 6-18 50mm on a 17hmr while prarie dog shooting. It was better looking through it than my cheap binos.  :twocents:

I put the Nikon Prostaff 3X9 on the kids .243.  Paid 99.99 at online at Cabelas.  Really impressed with the quality for the price.  Super clear in low light, and very good eye relief.

Check out the bargain basement at Cabelas.  I got mine there.  It's the Cabelas Alaskan.  I have had no problems.  But if i were to spend money again, I would have bought a Leupold!  You get what you pay for!! :twocents:

I have wasted more money over the years on cheap scopes just to figure out that they are cheap for a reason. We spend all year scouting, shooting, mapping, and it all comes down to that one shot you have to make. Don't rely on a cheap scope. Save you money buy the best you can, you will have it for a lifetime. Some good options, leupold mark 4, US Optics, Nightforce, Zeiss, trust me they are worth their weight in gold. It hurts the first time, but you won't regret it.
