From 1965 to 1985 I used to do quite a bit of rifle shooting including competition, sport and hunting. After my kids came along I sort of placed that all aside to save on money. I had a Bosch and Lomb on a 30-06 which I found out they do not make anymore. I had Nikons on both a 300 and 338 win mags. I recently started back into shooting and I am playing around with a couple of military rifles my dad came back from WWII with which I want to place scopes on - I have selected the Kalinka side rail and mount for the riles. These come with equivalent 1 inch rings. What are good quality low priced scopes for this application in the variable 2 to 12, t 4 to 16 or 6 to 24 range? I have seen some intriguing scopes on the Kalinka web site, however, there some pretty negative reviews. Anyone have any suggestions? I would probably say in the order of less than 300 dollars. |

I would be very cautious with pretty much any scope sold by Kalinka. There are more entertaining ways to waste money.
In the 4-12x range, I would suggest Vortex Diamondback: In the 3-9x40 range, the ELite 4200 that Wes recommended above is excellent, as are Vortex Viper and Weaver Grand Slam: ILya
