I am getting an H&R in .308 (22" bull bbl) and need a scope for it.
I am not very knowledgeable about scopes, so I need some advice.
I would like to keep it under $250
I would like it to be a fixed 10x
I would like it to be a mill dot.
This is what I would like, but I don't know what I can get in that price range with those features that will not be junk.
Any suggestions would be great.
 
I would suggest the Bushnell 3200 fixed 10x. It is one heck of a scope for $200. Check one out and compare the clarity to a more expensive scope. The super snipers have an adjustable objective and a 30mm tube. I really dont feel it is that is needed on a fixed 10x scope for most purposes. The H&R is a fairly compact gun and I think the size of the Bushnell 10x would be a good match.
 
The Bushnell 3200 sounds like a good match for that rifle. You would need to spend double that before you started seeing any meaningful increase in clarity.

The SWFA has a good following if you can swing the extra bucks. The rear focus is a nice option, target knobs, mil dot. It's twice the price of the Bushnell, you need to decide if the options are worth it to you.
 
OK, I ended up with the Ultra, in .223:p The .308was NOT avalable in my area, not even for order:eek: So I will be sending out the recever next week to get the .308 bbl fitted.
I am looking to get my feet wet in the long range target shooting arena with this gun.
I plan to start out around the 200yrd range and work my way up to the 500-600yrd range. I don't know if I can even find a place to shoot 600yrd in my area, let alone anything more.:p
So I'm thinking I will go cheep on the scope for the .223 bbl, and spend around $220 for the .308.
I'm finding that the fixed 10x is not that easy to get. I would not mind a vari. power so much, so long as it will go to 10x or more. I have seen a few that start at 10x and go up to 40 or 50. That would be great, so long as it will keep a zero with the recoil of the .308, and be clear at the high power.
Not asking much for the money am I :s0114::s0114:
 
Check out the Nikon line... their long history of camera and cinema optics puts them at a distinct advantage for design, development, production, and quality control, at a far lower price/benefit ratio than anyone else, to my thinking.

Their Buckmark line offers two types of reticle, comes in 3 x 9, 4.5 x 14, and a few other options, and most are a 40 mm objective lens for super bright viewing. Their guarantee is one of the best in the industry. Sportsmans' Warehouse, right there in Medford, stock a pretty full line for you to check out. I've only seen one price on any given model of Nikon scope, so shopping for a better price is futile. I believe most of the Buckmark line price at just over $250, a touch more dear than you had hoped, but not much. Nitrogen filled for long life, super sharp and clear, perfect colour rendition.... smooth works for the zoom and focus.....
