Re: budget optic
falcon 4-14 mil mil $380 I have one and it serves its purpose.
but pony up another 3 hundy and get a fixed 10 power and get the new super sniper w/ HD glass.

Re: budget optic
The Falcon is a great choice in that price point.
I upgraded to a USO on my primary rifle and I still have my Falcon.

Try Sightrom they are a great buy and a nice, strong scope.

Vortex Viper, 6.5-20x44. $479 from SWFA and there is a $50 rebate until Dec. 31st. Many reviewers have said the glass is comparable to Nightforce and Leupold Mk IV's.

Re: budget optic
Make sure you understand that there is a BIG difference between the new SS 10x HD and the old SS 10x. I have only looked through the old 10x and there is no way I would go that route over a Falcon.

Re: budget optic
Try the bushnell 3200 elite, $200, I have found it to be a good scope for the money, no problem out to 700 yds.

Re: budget optic
A shooter showed up at a recent Rifles Only class with a scope clearly unsuitable for that activity. We replaced it with a fixed 10 Super Sniper we had on hand, and he shot very well using it. Having a mil reticle and 0.1 mil clicks made everything very easy for him, and he had no trouble with the scope shooting targets out to 1000 yards.

I have a friend that has a 5r with a Millett LRS-1, 6-25x56 with a 35mm tube. Its on sale now for 419.00 with rings. IMO, the scope was very clear and tracked very well from 100 to 500 yards throughout the day. It has a mil dot reticle with half mil hash lines which I thought was very nice.

Re: budget optic
Millet 4-16 or 6-25
SWFA Super Sniper (new one) 3-9 or 10x (a little over budget)
Bushnell Elite 4200 or a used 6500
Used Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40 (may find a deal for $650)
Falcon 4-14
My favorite scope is this one Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42, but it is a little over your budget too.

Re: budget optic
I would take a long look at a scope from Vortex.

Here is another plug for the Explore Optics 4-16x50mm TTMD for $279 from a dealer buddy of mine.
It is the scope that I use, and I absolutely LOVE the thing!!
