it will probably be okay up to 12X or so before getting dark and fuzzy. why so much scope for a
200 yard (small varmints) rifle? a good used 6X will do what you need unless you're shooting a fly (yes it's done). check out ebay or the sample list |

well fridayt is the big day i get my money. and im going to go buy a scope now. i looked thoguh a burris fullfield ii 3x9x40 an i may sound nuts. but i tried to get it to focus to my eyes an just couldnt do it. it was very hard for me to see the dots on the reticle an i tried tinkerin with ths scope for quite some tiem in the store.
im still kinda stuck on what to do now ive looked though severl banners an i like um.
the bushnell banner 3.5x10x36 with the 17 hmr Bullet Drop Compensator are thease good scopes or?
only good for paper punching
ive also got my eye on the pentax gameseeker 3x9x40
an another bushnell banner 3x9x50
still having toruble figruin out what i should get please any help |

First of all here's how to focus a scope. Dont look thru it and turn the eyepiece. You look, look away at a distance (so you eyes refocus), turn it a 1/2 turn and look again and so on. Look at the clear blue sky and ONLY concentrate on getting the crosshairs sharp. If it has an adj objective set it at infinity first.
Again a 17 is a 200 yard rifle on small game. To get a good high power variable costs big money $400 or so. You don't need 10X to shoot a crow at 200 yards. Again I suggest you lok at Ebay: for example, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagen ame= STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220088846995&rd=1&rd=1 A flat new 6X that will probably close at around $75.00 and is superior to the cheap Asian scopes.I think you're making this far too hard on yourself. |
