Hey, i just bought a brand new Remington Model 700, its a .270 cal and i dont have a scope, i have only hunted once in my entire life and i used a bow, i am looking to get a scope and im not sure what would be good for it, my price range is 300 max, if someone could help me i would be more the greatfull... Thank you for your time and effort.
check out swift scopes. i bought one for my 270 and when compared to a nikon buckmaster i couldn't tell much of a difference other than the price. not that i'm knocking nikon its just that i saved about $40.
leupold makes a very nice scope called the rilfeman they have one that is 3-9 x 40 and a higher powered version of 4-12 x 40 i have the higher powered one i paid 250 for it and its a great scope the lowered power version will run u about 200 bux but there both great leupold only has one standard for their products unlike nikon simmons burris...they make good scopes and they also make cheap scopes and what i ment buy leupold has one standard even though these scopes are cheaper than sum of their other products they still have the same quality of a 500 dollar scope thats why i got the rifleman and you can pick up either one of these at walmart
Im a big leupold fan.They have a great warranty.But then again a lot of other scopes are now offering the same.My father wont buy anything but a leupold.Im not afraid to venture outside the box though.Along with my leupolds i have a nikkon and a weaver.I had a leupold on my 870 slug gun for at least 12 years.I sent it back twice because the reticles keep coming loose.Im guessing its cause the gun kicks like a mule.This year i got fed up with it and put a burris on it.Time will tell how it does.I would say the 250-300 hundred dollar range is the begining of a decent scope no matter what the brand.Anything less.You get what you pay for.
