Ok, this selecting scopes is tough for a beginner to F-class , F T/R. I've been looking at the 6-24x50 scopes in Nikon Monarch, Burris BD and SSelect,Sightron Long Range SIII 6-24x56,and Bushnell 4200 . The MOA adjust is not an issue with the mounts and rings available...So from about $550-$750 where do I go and why...if you own or sell them...give me your views as a variable power target scope. I have access to a Leupold 35x comp, but I don't want a fixed power scope. AND, I'm just not a Luppy type guy... I can have the luppy for 600 , it's like new, just don't like fixed power. Bushnell 6500 just does not excite me as a big improvement over a 4200 for my use. goin' goofy over this..decision thing. .....Someone from SWFA,or Optic Zone....etc... has some real thoughts....?? Bend my ear. ANYONE with Usage of any What's the good bad , and Ugly ?

Hey....Thank you Big Squeeze....I'm just wafflein' about a scope, your approach seems to make more sense than what I'm doing right now....which isn't getting any decision made. I think I better do as you said and put it down on paper in front of me, and choose. I think most of the mfgr's warranties are pretty much the same, The reticle I'd prefer is a fch..or fine duplex type, don't like dots...too big a dot in most. I've got all 1" rings,so I think unless there is a real advantage to a 30mm tube, I'll stick with the 1". Probably end up flipin' a coin at the rate I'm going. That new Sightron LR series SIII 6-24x56 has me mumbling now, cause I'd just about made up my mind on the Nikon Monarch 6-24x50.....hopeless in New Berlin....lol

"pros and cons"----sounds like hookers and ex-felons ....
Actually a great idea--but I'd lean towards the 4200 for the rainguard, cause the scopes you've picked out will all be really close optically. Edited by martin3175 - February/05/2008 at 07:17 |
