Rifle Scopes What to pick?!

[mercracing]

Hey friends! I am looking for a new scope for my 300WM. I would like something in the 700$ price range. The majority of the time this rifle will be used at different rifle ranges from 100-600 yards. With my eyes that means something along the lines of a 6-18 or 24 on the top end. At this time I only shoot against my friends with our pride on the line. I currently have several Vortex scopes and am a big fan of those. Yes, I know I could save up X amt more for such and such scope. But I am trying to stay close to 700$. Thanks for the input.

I would look at one of the Bushnell Elites from Scott at Liberty Optics. He has some on clearance that would do nicely!

I don't have any experience with Bushy. How is their glass?

John McQuay of 8541Tactical and TiborasaurusRex have both done reviews on the Bushnell's. They say good things about the Elites. They also like the SWFA Super Snipers!

Ffp siii 6-24 or sfp 6-24 or 8-32 from liberty optics

Elite Tactical... Glass is clean and crisp!

the new bushnell 3.5-21 has a strange tint to its glass. it is ok glass but in my opinion not as good as others in the price range. i really like the 3.5-21 though. the weaver tactical 4-20 has better glass than the bushnell and only shooting to 600 with a 300wm is should have plenty of elevation. the bushnell 2.5-16 and 4.5-30 are not bad they get kind of hazey at their higher mag settings but there is not a whole lot of options for 20 plus power under 700 dollars. i was reading some good things about the nikko sterling scopes but i have never looked at one for comparison. if you don't need variable power you could look at the swfa 20x scope. or maybe a used burris xtr 6-24

I agree, I don't see any tint in either of my Bushnell Elite Tactical FFP 3.5-21X50 scopes. Compares very favorably to my NF NXS 5.5-22X50 scopes if you do not need an illuminated reticle or zero stop.

If you are happy with vortex i would go with a sfp pst or hs.

eye box on those 6-24's and 8-32's get pretty picky

SWFA for the price.

What kind of features are you looking for? Do you want something with tactical turrets? Would a Kenton turret be acceptable? How important is glass quality over wiz bag features?

If you are looking for a hunting style scope with really good glass, take a look at the Meopta line. The Meopro 6-18 would be my suggestion. Kenton can do a turret for it if dialing is what you want to do.

If you want to go the more tactical route the Vortex PST would be worth a look. Not the same optical quality as the Meopta, but it's got a lot of features.

Give us a call if you need some more help. We'd be glad to talk with you to help out however we can. We'll make sure you get a good deal.

I would take a bushy over a vortex any day and twice on Sunday's. But that just my 2 cents.
