Help with scope selection

[AKShooter]

Well, Putting together a budget build 6br. Picked up a shilen varmit from a member here, putting it on a savage.

Gun will be for target shooting only. 100-300 yards mainly with 5 shoots this year at f class mid range at 3,5 and 6.

So budget is some concern, really looking at the fixed scopes because of this. The weaver or sightron 36 was my first thought. But also weaver 24

Was thinking the 8-32 siii would be okay too but a bit too much $. How are the sii

Any models I missed or should be looking at? Or other scope recommendations for my intended use. I plan to zero at 300 and dial up for 5 and 6

I don't think that you will go wrong with either one. The S2's are nice scopes also. See if there is anywhere close to you that has them in stock that you can peek thru.

I have picked up two SIII variables in the past year when Natchez Shooter's Supply ran good sales with pretty deep discounts. Keep your eyes out for sales from the mail order/internet dealers - sometimes you get lucky if your timing is right.
