yote scope...

[deerkiller300wsm]

has anyone used any of the osprey scopes? what you think?

 

[JimFromTN]

I have only looked at them at the gun shows. I have heard good and bad reviews of them. I think you are better off getting a comperably priced well known brand like a Bushnell, Burris, Sightron, or Nikon.

Get a Leupold

 

[deerkiller300wsm]

overprised.

 

[knightrider]

leupold all the way,if your gonna spend money get the best

I bought a Leupold 3x9x40 Rifleman at Cabelas for 169 (free shipping). It is extremely clear, and not overpriced. I have it on my 7600 pump 243. I can double the rifle as a Coyote gun, or a deer rifle.

 

[deerkiller300wsm]

The bushnell elite 3200 4x12x40mm is a great one. 3200 and models have B & L glass

 

[ttf909]

there was a 3200 5-15 x40 for under 250 at swfa samplelist and ebay.they do have nice glass.

 

[deerkiller300wsm]

i love that website...swfa that is.

I bought and used an Osprey 3-12x50 Tactical scope with an illuminated reticle this year.

Good glass, good reticle, good scope.

excactly

 

[Model70Man]

if your gonna spend money get the best

Yep, get a Zeiss.

Midwayusa has some great deals on bushnell elite scopes rite now and to my understanding the 4200's have B&L glass in them!

 

[huntinman]

I just shoot a Leupold Rifleman 3x9x40. Nothing fancy, but it is clear, and that is what matters to me.

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

if your gonna spend money get the best

Yep, get a Zeiss.

Zeiss are good scopes, but they are much bulkier and heavier. The eye piece is big and gaudy, but if looks and weight don't bother you the Ziess are bright and clear. To me the LVX-III's are the complete package.

Deerkiller, this was my second season with one. It is a 3x15x50 with alluminated reticles. It was crystal clear last year but this year it seemed as if had condensation in it. I think they have lifetime warranties though so you could always send one back. I purchased mine at a gun show an I think I paid 90. It was me and another guy getting one so we worked with the prices.. you get what you pay for.

 

[BDS05]

3x12x50 is what meant in previous post

B&L and Bushnell are the same company.

Get a Minox then, same glass as the Zeiss, weight and ergos like a Leupold.

I prefer AMERICAN made products. Give me some gold rings.

yes. a lot of great scopes out their and i own them all- burris sig., bausch and lomb, pentax, nikon- but nothing i have found can give you the light weight, elegant appearance, eye relief and brightness in a single package like a leupold vx3. but it has to be a vx3, not a fan of the 2's or lesser.

the 4200 are a lot better for not a whole lot more money imo

Hate to burst your bubble, but Leupold gold rings are not 100% "Made in the USA". The glass is Japanese.

Zeiss Conquests and Minox scopes are assembled in the USA and that alone is good enough for me since basically nothing is wholly Made in the USA anymore.

I wouldn't be suprized that the Ziess has some non German an American Parts and Glass,all made to there specs as does Leupold and other companies.. Also I prefer to buy from an American Company.
