scope recommendation

[JB10]

I have an old weaver t36. Good for shooting off the bench. I also fell in love with sightron last few years.

what reticle does it have?

It's kinda hard to describe, but there's a picture at Amazon.com. Just do a search there for mueller apv 6-18x44. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

They also come in 20x

I have the 20x and love it on my 52D. It also does duty on a couple of centerfire rifles I shoot quite a bit further.

Leupold EFR scopes 6.5x20- they pop up in the classifieds time to time..
I had a weaver 36x- sold it for a EFR

Thank you
What about the Sightron SII 36 power?

I have both Weaver T-36 and the Sightron S II 36x scopes. I like both almost equally. The deciding factor for me is the fact that Weaver is no longer in production. If something goes wrong, you are SOL. Also, I have seen used Weavers going for not much less than brand new Sightron. Sightron has a lifetime warranty. For shooting BR at 100yds, I would not use less than 36x magnification. But, my eyes are more than 70 years old. YMMV

Sightron also has their S3 36x and 45x Scopes but they are a bit more money.

SII Target36x42 BRD

Built for target shooting applications. Sightron's SII 36x42 BRD Target rifle scope delivers superior optics and accuracy when it counts.

Thank you for the input, I bought a SII 36x

I would look for a good used T-36 Weaver for around $350.

Yes, very simple to use and very powerful as well.

Thank you for the input, I bought a SII 36x
