CFD914 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I am looking for a range scope, that wont break the bank. I was wondering about Redfied, Burris or Nikon. Any thoughts? It will be a for a Marlin XL7 30-06, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 how far will you be shooting? I've got multiple Nikon 3-9x40mm scopes and they all work good and seem to hold zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb4900 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I would choose the Nikon if those were my three choices............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 If it's just range I think any bargain scope will work. In my opinion a good scope has good glass in low light, doesn't fog and can take a few bumps. I wouldn't worry so much about that at the range.

NYbuck50 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Redfeld was bought by Leuopold a few yrs ago, i bought one of their range finders... really nice for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr VJP Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 All three of the manufacturers you mentioned have good budget priced options. The Nikon Pro Staff series and the Redfield Revolution scopes have gotten excellent reviews over the years. I have one of each and find them to be excellent, especially for the price. I can't say much about Burris though, having never owned one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have 3 Nikon Pro Staff scopes and they all work fine....One on a 30-06,and 270 and a 243. And have taken deer with all rifles..decent scope for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFD914 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I have a pro staff on a 30-06, I use that for Hunting and Range, I just picked up another 30-06 to use soley as a range gun, so just looking for something to go out and fire a few rounds here and there at the range. Thank you for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefbkt Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 What is not breaking the bank and what type of magnification? You mention range shooting, how far? If you're only shooting out to 200 yards you don't "need" a super high magnification. Check out Vortex riflescopes. They're a good quality scope that come with a lifetime warranty. I have 2 and would compare their quality with Leupold but at a cheaper price. Check out opticsplanet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have a Redfield Revolution 4X12 40mm I'm willing to sell. Hardly used. Have not figured out how much I'm going to let it go for. Been so busy, have not thought much into it as of yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only their top end scopes are made in USA. IMO the made in USA Leupold is a far better bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
