I've bought a Savage 10FP LE2A Choate, now i need to scope it, I'M on a Budget and can only spend 250 w/ rings and covers, (wife is in control of the bank)
I've narrowed it down to 2 options that will be in my price range......
1.Swift Premium 4.5-14x44 Mil-dot
2.Bushnell 10x40 Mil-dot.
I do a little of everything, some paper and some hunting.....more paper then hunting. I would love to get the SS10x42 but I'm not in the position to bargin with the wife for a much nicer scope.....
My major questions inclued.. 1. Which is better? 2. Will they hold up to 30 cal pounding, at least til I can purchase Nicer? 3. Sunshades, where can i get sunshades for either?
Please give me some advice. Thank you for your time. Big O |

Bushnell Elite 3200 is a better built and sturdier scope. Optically, they are comparable, I think.
However, for the same money you can get a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 with ballistic Plex, which is a better scope than either. ILya |

Is the Super Sniper totally out of your wife's, I mean your budget??? I realize that it's a little more money, but I don't think you can beat a SS as far as a fixed 10 scopes, friend. $300 for the rear focus model, a pair of Leupold rings, and your living large!!
I'm very happy with my SS and heartily recommend it at any opportunity.
Just asking.....And I understand the whole "wifes got me on a budget" trip too, Brother....BELIEVE ME!!!

unfortunately, she knows the difference.....and there is another rule #1 i like to live by, "If shes unhappy, you're unhappy." and she will be unhappy if i buy the SS, Instead of the Bushnell or Millit..... |

the bushnell is good to go. i had one and it was a damn good scope for the money.The only reason i still don't have it is because cheaptrick recommended the ss to me and after i bought my first ss i just had to have two so i sold my elite to help finance it. Your on the right track save your pennies and buy a ss

Firepower usually means an increased number of misses
