by deerhunter86 on Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:49 pm

i ended up with a remington vtr 308 the other day and need a scope . i want somthing in the 6 x24 power range possably 8 x32 . the only problem is i wanna keep it under $200 so im going cheap for awhile . i have looked at truglow , tasco and bsa platinum. i cant decide . any recomendations ? yes im shooting about 600 yards

I have a bsa platinum 8-32 on my savage 22 and it gets dark when cranked down. Check out the weaver fixed power 32x targget scope if its a target gun. I hear it is clear and fairly bright. Not sure about price tho

This is as good as you are going to do for under 200 bones.

I'll have to look into that one . Was kinda hoping for mildot retical and tactical knobs .

This one has mildot and side focus. I'm looking at it for a .22. When you crank up the power it will get dark with it only having a 40mm objective.

Look at what "shooters edge" has to offer. I bought a 6x24x56 with a 30mm tube for right around $200.

I couldnt figure out shooters edge website on my phone I got frustrated and went back to natchezss

I will not buy another BSA if possible. I have done learnt that lesson. But it works and has put some meat in the freezer. I like Leupold. I hope you find one that suits you for that price.

30mm tube is the way to go. i have an ATN 8X24X75 on my savage. its an awsum scope. took some getting used to it.

+1 on no BSA! they sook

The nitrex that I recommended is the same scope as the weaver grand slam that cost 600. It would be the only one in your price range that will make repeatable adjustments if you are cranking up and down on the turrets for different yardages. If you get one of those others, make sure it has a hold over reticle, because it will not last long cranking turrets up and down constantly. That's the reason expensive scopes are expensive, the internals are accurate and repeatable.

I'm thinking about getting a millet

by deerhunter86 on Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:21 pm

Anything wrong with them? I'm looking at them all

by micahbxd40 on Tue Jan 24, 2012 3:37 pm

Konus is the only way to go I have 3 and love them

My 8x32x52 30mm tube was right over 300$

have an older Millet 3.5x10x50 on my CZ. Came with the gun and i was pretty unsure about it at first but after a while i have grown to really like it. Can't speak on them since they were bought out.........

I just received my new Nitrex TR1 4-16x50 scope from Natchez this evening. As I said I was burned by that BSA and have bought 2 Leupold VX-II scopes in the past year. But that Nitrex by Weaver caught my eye (at 1/2 the price of others) and thanks to the various positive forums comments, got one. It's mounted and looks great, very clear glass, comparable to the Leupold it displaced. I am happy and expect its gonna shoot well when it gets a chance. Thanks for the tips on what to consider!

by 22lrfan on Wed Jan 25, 2012 8:12 pm

I've never looked at a Nitrex. Gonna have to check them out after seeing the comments here.

by Fish_Head on Fri Jan 27, 2012 9:41 pm

We shot today and I am 100% satisfied,with the Nitrex. Justhntn good advice! We shot it and a Leupold, but saw no difference in clarity, accuracy, etc
Thanks
