Okay I have a Browning short track .270 WSM that needs a scope.
I will be shooting anywhere from 25yrds-500yrds.
I want something bigger like a 50..no less than a 50. ex. 3x9x50 or 4x16x50 or 56
What do you guys recommend? I dont want to spend more than 250.00
thanks

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

FYI the first thing in determining your rifle scope would be to pick one that works best for your application, not to pick it by specs like 50mm obj.

the scopes recommended to you above are far superior than these two scopes.

I have had a Vanguard for years and love it. Little heavy but deadly accurate and you just cant beat em for the price!! I think Im going to go twith the burris guys... Any other pros or cons for the burris ffII or the Diamodback?

The Vortex is a great scope if you can still find one at that price!
