I just picked up a Mossberg MVP and was wondering what optics you all would suggest I top it with?
Use: 100 - 300 yards, target shooting & varmint (possible).
Thanks,
Jp

I was thinking in the range of $400 - $600.
3x9 or 4x16?
I have a Zeiss Conquest 3x9x50 on my deer rifle and a Nikon Monarch 4x16x42 or my 6.8SPC AR-15. I like them both and both are basically in the price range.

In that price range Zeiss for sure. You can get the 4.5-14x44 for $500.

I prefer a slim-line scope on my rifles, more like the leupold 3.5x10x40/ the boone & crockett reticle.

Go to cameralandny. Zeiss or Minox would be great. Zeiss if you have the little bit more money to spend.
