Ok down the road I hope to be able to outfit this rifle with the much better glass that it deserves. But times are tight I got limited means and a hunt in Nevada come October. I want something descent under 400 bucks in the 4-12 or 4-14 range.
Ideally I would get a vx3 LR 4.5-14 set up with a drop turret and heavy duplex from teh custom shop but that just isnt in the cards right now. With as flat a shooting round as this is I dont need the turret or crazy reticles just some good glass that wont fog up on me. scopes I have been considering buckmasters 4.5-14 monarch 3-12 redfield revolution 4-12 vx2 4-12x50 ( this is stretching the budget and I am not sure about big bells as I never have had one I also will probably disqualify it if it wont work in talley LW medium mounts) Ok so I dont think anything above comes from red china as this is kinda important to me for what ever it is worth. I am open to suggestion and this scope will eventually be passed down to a coyote rifle or something along those lines. Again I just want a good clear bright picture dont need lots of bells and whistles |

Vortex Viper SPEED DIAL Either one of the above scopes would be great for your purpose. Kenton even makes speed dials for the Viper that would do speed dials that would make it ultra quick in the field. Edited by SVT_Tactical - July/01/2010 at 15:58 |

Just wanted to give you some facts on the Viper scopes. I will tell you that I got rid of a 1.75-6x32 VX-III and replaced it with a 2-7x32 Viper. I'm not sorry I did. That being said,you say you want a bright crisp picture w/o the bells and whistles? Then I'd go with a 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest.Edited by 300S&W - July/01/2010 at 16:52 |

as far as your list goes the viper is better optically than all of them, the monarch would be the only close competitor and their cs dept is spotty at best. vortex is the real deal. |

Here's a list of scopes I'd feel more than comfortable using.

Unless something has recently changed, the Vipers I've seen said "Made in Philippines" on them, but the glass evidently comes from Japan.
I believe the Crossfire is made in China, as is their lower end binoculars. With the exception of some Viper scopes made in the Philippines, their high end products (mostly items with "Razor" and "Viper" in the series name) are all made in Japan.
