Gun people...I need a new scope

[J-rod]

thought maybe some of you gun nuts could point me in the direction of a new scope. i need a new scope for my 30.06. right now i cannot see a full view of the scope without getting 1" from the scope and getting myself laid open. I have not killed a deer with it in 7-8 years and not even shot it in 5-6 years.

yes my eyes have gotten worse and it was not the best scope money could buy at the time. this thing is 15 years old as i bought the gun and scope new when i was 12.

i looked at a leopold at cabela's with a lot of eye relief. appx 6". but it was a single power and only 2.5x with a small lense. i would like to find something with an adjustable magnification and larger lense with a good bit of eye relief. if it is only a single optic then 3-4x is preferred.

i do not need the best money can buy as it will be hunted with and typically in the woods not an open field. but i need something that fits my needs. the leopold i looked at was $200.

anyone know of something like this? or a better place to look? Cabela's was too busy to even get close to the scopes/guns. we plan to take some of our .06's and muzzeloaders, and 30-30 to the range and site them in the 2nd or 9th.

Check out Tasco's world class. They make a nice scope and it has a nice warranty. Power range get something like a 3x9x40 or 4x12x40

I like Nikon stuff for the money. My dad is looking at one now for $250.00. He said nothing else can beat it for the price. I think it's called the pro staff..

I agree on the world class tactical for the money and quality.

Look at Nikon, Simmons or Barska. All make decent scopes for what you're looking to do and will be in the $200 price range.

Nikon is my personal favorite however I have a Simmons Aetec that is damn close in clarity. Paid $99 for the Aetec a few years ago....had the same problem with the eye relief thus the purchase of the Simmons Aetec for the extended eye relief.

Leupold, makes some awesome scopes, mine is a old one but i never had any problems with it, my dad just got a new Zeiss but something dumb was messed up with the lense or what not so he went back to Leupold, it had a knob u turn and a little red dot shows up in the middle of the crosshairs its really nice

I always thought they had expensive stuff for what you got.

i am actually looking at a couple Nikkon now. going to Dick's to look at these two Nikkon and the Tasco World Class. all state to have 3.5-4" of eye relief.

Thanks!

You can find good deals on the Nikkon's all day long on ebay.

Buy a leupold and be done, best optic for the money.

Nikon! I live beside a rifle range and hang out there at times, When I compare other scopes the Nikon always shines for clarity...Make sure you look downrandge too. Alot of them look good @ 50 yards but 100, 150 and so on not so clear. You can buy the Pro Staff 3X9X40 for $199.99 or less

i have a simmons white tail 3-9x32 on my .22 and i like it a lot

i have a swift premier 4-12x40 on my .270 wsm and love it.

the guy i buy guns from has different brands and i walked outside with each scope and the swift had the best clearity for the range i was looking for. just my 2 cents

Not to change the subject, is this the car I see on my way up the hill to allegheny rifle club?

[J-rod]

i will end up with a new one on the .06 and my new muzzleloader.

Thanks!
