I recently purchased an AR-15 in 6.8 SPC and moved my Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 scope over to it. Now I need a new scope for my 7mm Magnum. I usually hunt soybean fields out to 400 yards. What scope would be good for around $500 and still have good glass for shooting right at dark? My eyes are getting worse so at least 4-16 power. I like this forum and look forward to hearing your suggestions.

The Bushnell Elite 4200 series scopes are known for near equaling the performance of scopes costing a good bit more:

Howdy and Lots of good choices in your ball park. http://swfa.com/Vortex-65-20x44-Viper-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P10821.aspx You'd need new rings as it's a 30mm tube, but you can get the scope and rings for less than your upper threshold. This one eats up pretty much the entire budget, but you'll not need new rings. http://swfa.com/Nikon-4-16x42-Monarch-Riflescope-P42332.aspx Me, I'm pretty tight and would go with one of these. It's smaller and lighter than the others and has good glass. "did I mention it's a lot cheaper too" http://swfa.com/Burris-45-14x32-Timberline-Rifle-Scope-P11004.aspx If I wasn't cheap I'd grab that Vortex. |

I am looking at the http://swfa.com/Minox-3-15x42-ZA5-Riflescope-P46138.aspx. I have not looked through one but their Binoculars are pretty clear. How does it compare to the ones mentioned above?

Haven't had the opportunity to look through the Minox. Ilya would likely be your best source of information on them. The 4200 Suggested is also a fine hunting rifle scope. |
