I am looking for a scope for a bolt action 223. i want something good, and that has a mil dot reticle and target turrets. it doesnt needto be top of the line, but I want it to work. I want something with a max of 16 power zoom.
 
Re: New Scope

You are asking way too much for a $150-200 scope. Either save some more money to get in the $350-400 range and get a Falcon Menace 4-14x44 FFP or get a Bushnell 10x40 fixed power. Most any other scope under $200 that is a variable will not be worth spending that $200 on.
 
Re: New Scope

Yes, Vortex are quality scopes for the money. Talk to Scott @ LibertyOptics and he can probably set you up with a good deal on one.

However the Falcon will offer you turrets in 0.1 MRad increments, to match your Mil-Dot reticle, whereas the current crop of Vortex scopes all have MOA turrets. Supposedly a Mil version is coming, but I expect it to be WAYYYY over your budget as described.

IMHO, the Falcon is the best value in low-cost (sub-$500) optics right now.
