Scope Advice!

wow, sounds like a lot of guys are trying to have the OP buy the biggest baddest scope known to man ...I wish I had yalls budget...

OP, for you needs you will have no problem with pretty much any leupold or nikon (even the lower end models) its crazy i know

Both me and my dad have had leupolds lower end 3-9x50 scopes on our hunting rifles, one on a .270 and one on a 7mm-08. We sighted them in years ago and they have served us well for many years. YMMV

 

newfie8 check your pm

 

Great info guys! I'm getting close to a decision. I'd better hurry up our Moose hunt is only 3 weeks away. Going to the Gun store tomorrow might get this one http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/16FCSS
Guy said $730.

 

is that U.S. dollars?

 

That is canadian dollars.

 

Went with the Zeiss Conquest guys! Now it's off to find a gun.

 

You will be pleased with your purchase. Let us know/see what you end up with.

 

I am late but will drop my two cents worth. lately I have gone with Leupold VX 3's for my Kimbers. Ya cost is a little more, but the new dial system is great. Tailored to your round, I am also fond of the Nikon's higher end models. Crystal clear, and get me way past shooting hours.

 

Haha..What a joke..$400.00 will get you a nice optic for your hunting purposes.Sure,if you want to spend big bucks For a S.B. or N.F. top of the line optic go for it but its not necessary for your plans..

 

Will do, Hopefully there will be a Moose in the picture as well!

 

Been a long time but this is what I went with!

 

Looks nice, so, is there any moose meat in the freezer?

 

Haha, I'm afraid not. Stayed down there in a winter tent for 6 days and only seen a glimpse of one. I'll get em next year!

 

Keep us posted. Now I think of it, I'd be very leery of shooting a big assed moose, a 175lb whitetail is a job to get out, dressed and quartered. Can't even imagine a moose.

 

Lol, yeah that's right T4. I had some interesting times
