Its' going on my Remington 30-06. I don't want to break the bank and I have a giftcard to cover a large portion of it. Here is what I am looking at. Any other options I should look at?

Thanks!

i dont know much about the Revenge from Redfield but you can find the Revolution from redfield in that range. that would be the one i suggest.

here is a good read on this price range. It is a pretty good read.

SO many options and so little money! I like my Burris Fullfield II, however it is a little hard for me to get focus out of it. Once I am on the object it is super clear.

I have read alot back and forth online between the vortex and redfield. I dont believe I could go wrong with either option. Seems like customer service is a little better with Vortex, but I've never needed customer service on a scope?

yup either will be good buys. I liked the Redfield better because its back by Leupold and they will replace it for the life of the scope. I have the Redfield on one of my guns and it was much better then the 50mm Nikon prostaff i had at low light.

Burris fullfield II for me as well, i have two one on a 300 mag and another on a smokeless ml2, and they have performed flawless for years.

Burris Fullfield ll for me. I have 7 mounted, and a couple spares NIB.

weaver grandslam, bushnell elite 3000

Nikon Pro-Staff, hard to beat for the price.

Ive gotta say nikon prostaff also. Comparing 3scopes at the range today i had a vari-x3 leupold a vari-x 2 and a prostaff and believe it or not my 100 dollar ebay prostaff was clearer than my 450dollar vx3. Ive got two prostaffs and have abused the heck outa one even acidently droped my rifle on the ground and it landed on the prostaff and it still held zero. I cant say enough good about em.

 

[redblood]

then will u sell me your vx3's for a 100 so u can replace them with prostaffs. i will buy everyone u got

 

[.444 Marlin]

Nikon Prostaff or the leupold rifleman. both are in the price range you mentioned and they are very reliable scopes based on the experience i have with them.

Finally bit the bullet and order a Redfield Revolution 4x12-40. I got it off swfa's sample list (Demo) but rated A.

$179.00 which was a very good deal. I will compare it to my Nikon and Burris when I get it for my own personal review.

Thanks for all the insight!
