Saw this on buy.com, great deal it seems at $511, where it usually is over $600. I have experience with the prostaff series, but this just looks nice. Looking to put this on a Remington 700.

 

My question is if I get something cheaper, in the $200 range, and if I am going to be happy with it, or might as well bite the bullet and pick up this scope. Lifetime warranty helps. lol.

 

Have you tried the Mueller scopes? My 2-7x32 holds perfect zero, is crystal clear and gets bashed around a lot. Very reasonably priced.

Maks:

 

I know people that swear by Nikon scopes. What puts me off Nikons is Natchez Shooter's Supply catalogs. Every issue they have a ton of refurb'd Nikons. Tells me one of two things - either they are the only scope company the refurb's their returns and then resells them - which means other companies may have an equal amount of returns, but choose not to resell. Or, Nikon has more than other companies and that fact makes it worthwhile to refurb. Me, I'd rather err on the side of caution.

 

That Bushnell 4200 Elite Tactical that was on my Howa, was only slightly more than $500, IIRC. I'll be glad to share the source with you, but not sure how kosher it would be on an open forum, when we have sponsors that sell scopes. I like Leupold, Bushnell and Weaver, the only exception I've made to those three is a Sightron HBR 6x w/AO.

 

Definitely buy good glass. Buy quality and only cry once.

 

Adios,

My brother has a refub one and it is good. Most of them are in store demos that were sent back.

 

I love the bushnell, but I dont like the thick crosshairs.

I am a Bushnell fan too, I have a few lower line banners on my .22's they are clear and hold good zero.

Probably will go for one when I get a .308, just wish they made a mil-dot version.

Just mounted the monarch onto the rifle. wow. =)

 

crisp, clear, fast focus, just like nikon camera glass.

 

the clicks are very nice. Scope was advertised with a 34 moa adjustment, however doing the click count, came out with 39.4 moa adjustments internally. Came with 3 sets of turrets, sunshade, and flip up covers which are quite nice. Lifetime transferable warranty also included. When the CC statement comes next month will cry a bit, but rejoice to the fact that I spent a few hundred less than I would on a leupold, and getting as good, if not better optics.

 

Cant wait to play with it outdoors, too bad going to snow this weekend, odds are no dix this weekend.

your lucky i already picked on joe today and I'm being good because you just left yourself wide open to get picked on!

 

Glad you liked the scope though

voila.

Damn that scope looks mean!!! Looks good Maks, now we just gotta see if you can shoot it!

looks good

hehe, look in the dix thread from yesterday... showed a target.

I have two Bushnells - the 4200 Elite Tactical and an unbranded Bushnell built to 3200 standards but only 3X magnification (8-24 power) rather than 4x. Both are Mildot reticles. The 4200 is a 30mm tube 6-24x50mm with side focus. Mildot values are true at 12x. Again, PM me if you are interested in the source.

Hey Maks,

 

Spend some money and hire an electrician to get rid of that ugly power strip. Come on man, stimulate the economy already!

DUDE, thats exactly what i was just thinking! Wierd.

lol. it is a full surge suppressor. =) not a cheapo $10 power strip. but in the next place, for sure.

 

now I am thinking though... for this snowstorm.... stop off at best buy and pick up a PS3 for the weekend to play WF2?

Is that a dreamcast? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Is that a dreamcast? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

Yes it is. =)

 

In another room I also have a Saturn. =)

 

Resident Evil for the Saturn > Resident Evil for the PS/PS2. Load times. hehe.

 

The Sega's were technologically superior to anything Sony Gay-Station or Nintendo Pretendo systems. Problem is... Sega didnt really market very well. Its amazing that dreamcast had releases in Asia for years after it was dead in the states.

Look into Falcon Optics. They are hard to beat.
