Scope for under 600

[Jdb5324]

Was wondering what scope you all reccomend for shooting a 22-250 browning X-bolt white gold medallion in maple with octagon barrel . I'll be shooting mainly steel and paper with occasional varmit under 500 yards. Any help is good help

Athlon Ares Btr, now about 1/2 price at midway. Good unit. They are coming out with a new 2020 model so these are getting blown out. FFP, zero stop etc. All the features. I own 4, 1 on a 338 Lapua, no issues.

Swfa fixed power.

Some of the Vortex scopes are very good, and if you are LE or Military, they offer a further discount. Check some out.

Sportsman WH Vortex Viper 6 x20-44 SF. 299.00 They had them on sale last week of 269.00. I have four of these, 17Rem, 22-250, 223, 6.5CRM. first I don't like big Obj lens, just me. Also a Viper 4x16-44 on my Pre 64 Model 70 in a 300WinMag. Warranty is BEST no questions.

Vortex and Sightron won't break the bank. Great warranties.

Another vote for Sightron. The Weaver Grand Slams are decent scopes for the money. IIRC they're made in Japan.

You can get a very decent Leupold at that price. a bushnell will also been in your range too.

For 600-650.00 keep watching the classified optics section. You'll find a Sightron SIII 6-24/8-32 LR target scope in that price range. Tough to beat Sightron's SIII models at around 800-1000.00.

midway USA caries the Weaver tactical FFP mil-mil with enhanced mil-dot reticule. it is $750, but they usually have a promo code on hear for $50 off. this is a very good scope for the money. what is your reason for wanting a 30 power scope. more power is not better on cheap scopes.

Man I just can't find anything in his original post about wanting a 30X scope. Shooting out to 500 yards is all I could find. Am I missing a post. Definitely higher power in low quality optics do not go hand in hand. You are right IMO, stay lower in power if your staying lower in price. 600-650.00 will buy good enough quality to go higher in magnification...especially a good like new used scope

I bought a meopta meostar r1

For targeting out to 500 yards, your giving up a lot by choosing a 3-12 power scope - IME
"Aim small, miss small"..... is better executed with magnification.

And wow..... you likely drifted well beyond your: "under $600" question.

Paid 600 including shipping

Sightron SIII used for $750 even $700 sometimes...Its way worth the extra $100...I have done this a few times.

I have the Sightron STAC 4-20X50 MOA.
Does fine to 1,000 yards.
But i've taken all my other scopes out to 600.
All those being 4-12.
Can i hit the target, yeah.
Know exactly where & be able to adjust, no.
Hit steel, sure!

Perhaps an Arken 4-16 would be a reasonable choice.
If not that, i'd stick with Sightron.

Give Lancexxx a PM!
He'll treat you right!

I have a Leupold 6.5 x 20 x 40 AO set up by Premier reticle. Excellent repeatable windage and elevation with
1/8 minute target dot and target knobs. Getting ready to post it at $500 + $20 shipping. Let me know if interested and I'll send pictures. PM Lindy
