If You had $150 what Scope would you buy.

That Bushnell 3200 Elite is hard to beat at any price. It is simply a heck of a scope, especially for the money!!!

Hard to beat!

I buy Leupold, Weaver, Nikon used at the local gun store. If it breaks or has something already wrong with it, I send it back to the factory and they always fix it at no cost so far. I have only bought one new scope. That is for my F class Savage. 8x25x50 and the price scared he heck out of me. If I could have found a used one, I would not think twice about buying it for half of what I paid for the new one.

DGW, sportsmans guide had intensity scopes for 79.99 a while back and may still. it's worth a look.


Sportsmans Guide sold out of the aspherical type lens Intensity scope (which you can tell with first power being a 2.8 or 3.8) very quickly....may still have a regular lens Intensity. I can't vouch for clarity of the regular lens models like I can for the aspherical. Chuckle, you can find the aspherical lens Intensity on Ebay, but seller wants $185 for them and I only paid about $90 for mine.

This morning noticed Natchez Shooters Supply still had the 2.8-10X44 Intensity in stock for $70 + shipping. It'd be a very good scope for a deer rifle, just not enough power for my target shooting.

1. Nikon postaff closely followed by the Bushy 3200. I like Nikon's glass. The new Redfields look great and are made by the premier American company called Leupold. Havent owned one yet though.

Yes, I have to agree. I can think of no other scope in the price range that I like better. If I had nothing but 3200 Bushnell scopes on all of my guns I would be satisfied I'm pretty sure.
 
Chickenleg,

So happens the Intensity aspherical lens scopes were made in same factory the Simmons Aetecs used to be made before Meade bought Simmons. Older Aetecs had a very good reputation for reliability, good optics, very clear and etc. Don't know about the newer Aetecs. But you are right $79 is a good price for an Aetec.
 
SWFA.com has a Vortex Crossfire 70% off. It's a 6-24x50m. $99.99
Great quality and the deal is exclusive to that site. It's about 220 anywhere else.
