Hello gang,
Im new and I have a question.
I am going to scope one of my Schmidty Rubin K31 straight pull rifles. Since this is a range queen and not one of my hunting or target rifles I dont want to put a Vari X III or anthing that expensive on it. Im considering a Burris Fullfield II. Any suggestions for a lower-midrange scope or brand that will fill the bill for 3-9X40 minimum?
thanks

Welcome to The OT!! Glad your here.
The FFII is much loved and revered here. I would also recommend one of my favorite scopes, the Nikon Buckmaster. Either would serve you well....

I almost got a Leupold Rifleman until I found out they had 1/2 moa adjustment and even the Vari X I is friction 1/4 moa adjustment....seemed a bit lame for the money. The Fullfield II seems to have a lot going for it for the money.

Leupold Rifleman and VX I's are not good choices, as far as I'm concerned. You'd be better served with the FFII or BM. |

Call Matt Foster at 1-800-683-5590. He will give you all the right dope on your M31. His shoots like a target rifle.

I put a Burris Fullfield II on my k31. Fits well with the Warne 7.3 rings. The mount will have to proce itsefl before I declare success but I dont think the scope will be the weak link. The quality seems very good. I didnt realize they were made in the Philipines. Is that better than being made in China?
