scope advice

Leupold VX-2. Sight it in, never touch it again, good night nurse. Also will gather light like CRAZY early in the morning and late in the evening, and will be able to make out details at hundreds of yards WAY before your eyes and/or binocs will.

If you got that Redfield at the same time you you got your gun, then you want to keep it. Back in 74 redfield was still a top of the line scope. I have for (4) Redfield scopes and are as clear as the day I got them.. I don't know which scope you have, but I know you will not be happy with any of the new ones when you compare them to an older Redfield. I have a Leupold at is one of there top of the line scopes and paid some good bucks for it and don't like it when comparing it my Redfields.All of my Redfield were gotten in the late 60 s and earty 70 s.

it is a great scope, unfortunately, it was bought 5 or 6 years before i was born, lol. I just thought of getting something a lil more modern.

Thats the only scope I have, I like it alot too but have zero experience with any other scopes. All of my other guns have iron sights.

Do yourself a favor and take a look at Vortex scopes. Super high quality, made in the USA and lifetime warranty. They are just as good as a Leupold and a bit less pricey.

Exactly, a Nikon Monarch UCC (top of the line) 3-9x40 at Dicks is under $350.

I'm pretty sure that Dick's had the 3x9x40 Monarch on sale for $199 which is a good deal for a great scope. I have 3 Monarchs and won't buy any other scope. I like to use rings that use torx screws instead of regular screws on my scopes. Leupold makes great rings.

I have a vx2 on a rem 740 auto .280 its great. I broke a tasco and a bushnell just target shooting I got the vx2 from cabelas for 199 money well spent. I have shot my friends gun with a nikon at targets and like it too. I guess it comes down to what you wanna spend, I think leupold and nikon are both well made. I only have experience with the leup and I would definitely buy another.

I read this imformation in an article by John Barnsness a few years ago, so it may no longer be true..

According to that article at the time it was written, Leupold was American made EXCEPT for the glass, which they bought from anyone who could meet thier specs.

Burris, on the other hand was entirely American made, including the glass... At that time Burris was the only scope that was 100% American made.

That's just for converstaion sake, and may no longer be the case.

My burris fullfield ll has a sticker that say made in the phillippens. My vortex is made is th US.
