Scope

[Wolf]

Bad day at the range, pos scope BSA 6×24 scope cross hair started to rotate all over. I am done trying to sight it in 11vt 308, I in April. Will get a nice scope for me around 200, the a one piece scope base wasted a lot of ammo

Explain "one piece scope base" issue.

Thanks, Dennis

Typical performance of a BSA scope. Sorry to hear you got stung by their crap. Check out Mueller scopes Good value for the money.

Yup, I was bitten by BSA years ago...before I knew any better. It ultimately cost me a M77 .22 Hornet, since I blamed the gun for the .410 patterns it would print on paper. So, like a fool, I kept the scope and traded the Hornet off for a little .243. Needless to say, I was really bummed when the new gun printed almost the exact same pattern. Trying to eliminate myself as the problem, I tried a different scope....wouldn't you know it, that little .243 was a shooter! Some lessons you just have to learn the hard way...

If you want to stay with a 6x, I'm having good luck with a Weaver 6x36 on my .308. Very clear, affordable, simple and LIGHT. Only weighs 10 oz.

I am using 2-piece Weaver aluminum bases and the lightweight Weaver Quad-lock rings, and have had zero issues through hundreds of rounds so far.

The Mueller 8-32 target scope is $221 on Amazon right now.
But if you can swing an extra $100 or so, CamerLandNY is accepting preorders on the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 for $299 right now :o

Thanks guys, due to funds bought rifle. I will put 4×12 back on and save for a nice fixed 6. To me that would be about 250.00.

Look at the primary arms 4-14 they are good scopes in Your price range

As you move up in magnification quality glass becomes more of a necessity. You can shoot out to a few hundred yards with a standard 3X9. Tried and true models like Leupold VX-1 or Redfield Revolution will both get the job done, made in U.S. and have very good warranties that you'll more than likely never need

[Pet-Rock]

Looks like you can pick up the Leupold 6x for ~$300, maybe cheaper if on sale somewhere...

trying to remember wasnt the package scope a bushnell sharpshooter with a ao?

[futurerider103]

For $200ish you can buy a Leupold VX2 on armslist brand new

If this is the 11VT that the OP has talked about, yes, it is a sharpshooter POS that comes on the gun.

Unfortunately the lower end Bushnell's are pretty bad. I wouldn't recommend anyone get a Bushnell model below their 3200 series. I have one of their 6500 Elites and it is extremely nice. It compares very well to my father's Weaver Tactical 4-20x

I also hear their DMR scope is where it's at ;)

i have always had luck with legends and elites. i sold my sharpshooter on fleabay for 61.00 shipped. hope i didnt make a mistake it might have been good on a rimfire
