scope for .243 varminter?

[mattri]

Looking for a scope for my .243.

Want to be able to shoot accurately out to 400 yards.

The Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 mildot has excellent reviews and is reasonably priced.

Any others to keep in mind?

How about a Weaver V24? Fair price - clear optics.

Great link thanks for the heads up. I will deffinetely be watching those lists. Some of the Monarchs look pretty good.

I have a Nikon Monarch 6-24x50 SF on my .243 AI I went with the Nikoplex. I bought it NEW for a little less than what the SWFA sample list has the refurbished ones for.

It is a great scope. I do have 2 bitches though. It doesnt have enough internal adjustment for elevation. I had to get a 20 MOA base to dial up past 600 yards. The other bitch, 1/8" adjustments on the turrets instead of 1/4 MOA. It holds zero even after falling and dropping the gun on some not so soft logs landing on the scope first. My Leupy Vari-X III isnt that tough :
