    Re: Moving Up In Scopes. Help Me Decide!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, thanks for the info. I guess I should have specified that we are doing a big shoot this weekend so I would like to buy something local. That Zeiss is sounding like a damn good deal. They are $849 on SWFA. The Bushnell 6500 is $899.

    Rifle Scopes Moving Up In Scopes. Help Me Decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok, I have a new Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 I am looking to upgrade scopes from my trusty little Nikon Buckmaster to something a bit better. I have a $600 limit including tax. I already have bases and rings if I stick with a 1" tube. I want at least 18 power. The scopes that look the...

    Rifle Scopes Optics for Rem 700 sps tactical .308

    Re: Optics for Rem 700 sps tactical .308 Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x40. I have tried almost all of the above mentioned and for the money you will not find a clearer more repeatable scope. I have one I bought a couple weeks ago I might make you a great deal on. I am going to upgrade to a longer...

    Gunsmithing To clean or not to clean.. Is there a true answer

    Re: To clean or not to clean.. Is there a true answer Thanks for the info so far. So the 10/22 don't ever touch the barrel? Is this never ever? That barrel gets pretty nasty inside....I think I am on the right track with my pistols and shotgun. The 700 is my biggest concern. For example, I...

    Gunsmithing To clean or not to clean.. Is there a true answer

    OK guys I have done a lot of research on the web about this subject. I go to the range about 2 times a week. I shoot my Springfield XD9, Walther P22, Ruger 1022, Benelli Nova 12ga (skeet), and the Remington 700 SPS Tactical. Typically I will put about 25 rounds through the 9, 25-50 through the...

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... The Nikon has been wonderful thus far. It has passed every test I will ever put it through. If I had the money to spend on a NF I would but for $300 I would say you would have to get into some serious money to outperform the Nikon. I was going to buy a...

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... I bought a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14 and to me it is great. It is clear enough that on 4.5 I can see very well at 200yds. I have put it through some tests the last couple of days on my SPS Tactical and it has never failed to be dead on. I am very easy on my...

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... Thanks for the info again. I might go with a Monarch just to get a bit better quality and the turrets I want. I guess I will see tomorrow.

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... Can you buy different turrets for it? If so which ones? Something taller and easier to grip.

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... So I got rid of the BSA. Here is what I have locally available to me in my price range.... The Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical 5x15x40 or Nikon Buckmaster with BDC. I understand there is not a lot of elevation adjustment in either of these so which one would...

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... I guess that's why my 1022 is so much fun. It is accurate and cheap to shoot. I love my 700 SPS though. I can't get enough of the bolt action. I do want to buy a good scope while I have the money which is why I started this thread

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... The only point I am making is that shooting a 1" bullseye target at 200yds with a 10X scope seems very tough. Again, wouldn't the cross hairs cover up the target to where you couldn't even see the bullseye? When I put the BSA on 32 I can see the color of...

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... OK. I am going to upgrade tomorrow. A buddy of mine wants my BSA. I think I am still going to shoot for something at least 16-20 power. Like I said, we shoot at 6" targets. the bullseye's are probably an inch in diameter.

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... Sure, but the target is still going to be so small and far away. There is not enough "zoom" there. How could you place a precise shot when your cross hairs look like they are covering the entire target?

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... So here is my last question. How in the hell does anyone see anything at 400yds with a 10 power scope? I mean my scope is a 32 power and I crank it all the way up at 200yds. I can understand if you are shooting at a bear at 3 or 400yds but 10 power for...

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... So of the ones I mentioned, which one would be the best? Does anyone suggest anything else in that price range?

    Rifle Scopes Why pay the big money when.......

    Re: Why pay the big money when....... Filled in parts of it. Will have to work on the rest later. So would you guys recommend the SWFA SS's, Nikon Buckmasters, Burris Fullfields, or Bushnell Elite series? I have around $350 to spend
