I am looking at the following 3-9x40 scopes for a Remington BDL 30.06 bolt action. The gun is mainly used for hunting Blacktail deer and wild pigs? I am looking at the Bushnell 3200 Elite, the Burris Full Field, Pentax Whitetails Unlimited, or the Weaver Grand Slam. I've done a little research and I am leaning towards the Burris, but I'd like some fellow shooters opinons. Thanks

All pretty good scopes. I don't personally like Weaver, but I will admit that they are good.

That Weaver Grand Slam is one bright scope. It's durability has also been tested to be top notch.

I have a 1973 vintage BDL also in '06.Bought a Grand Slam 3-9x40 when they first came out.Rifle now has a 2yr old Vari-XIII 3.5-10x50.Yes the Leupold is brighter,but that's it.Image & colors aren't any sharper& the Weavers 1/2 the price.Same Weaver is on a 14yr old grandson's sporterized Swede Mauser.The kids on his 2nd barrel on the Swede & the Grand Slam is still going strong.I don't believe you'll do any better in that price range,plus they're tougher than a hobo turd.Hell the little heathen shoots 10k rounds a yr.I made the mistake of telling him send me the empty brass & I'd load for him,it's a full time job let me tell ya.

I consider the the Sightron 3x9x42, (around $200) as well I bought one approx. 4 mo. ago, and, in my opinion, is as good a scope as I own or have looked at. Very good scope, at any price.

Did Weaver ever address the issue of that huge zoom ring on the Grand Slam? I know some rifle's bolts wouldn't clear it. I'd go for the FFII.

Sightron SII 3-9x42 has better glass and better adjustments than other scopes in this group. Durability is top notch as well.
Burris Fullfield II has BallisticPlex reticle.
It's a tough call.
