whats the best budget tactical scope?

[rksimple]

I've had 3 of them and they've all been around 85 moa total. They are the best budget scope around. A hidden gem for sure.

lol, after all this I made an impulse buy and Bought a Hensoldt 6x42 since that is a more original optic for a PSG-1 type rifle...For actual use Im probably still gonna buy a scope with more magnification for actual shooting...dang impulse buy,lol

[gunsmithcats]

if ur still active duty, leupold has a freaking crazy mil discount program for its scopes. well worth looking into

[ar15barrels]

anyone ever count those MOA to verify? sure does seem like alot....

I think my bushnell elite 3200 fixed 10x has 82moa of actual travel.

Another vote for Leupold.

Mine are USA made too, maybe something changed in the last couple of years
with them. My scopes are a few years old.

Look at Danner Boots, use to be USA made boots only. Now they have
their Economy line with the Chinese made boots. Pitiful, but true.

Yes.
They quit making the parts here in the USA.

There's no comparison; the Millett TRS-1 is a 30mm tube, Bushnell Elites are 1" (most models); Millett has approx. 100 MOA range of adjustment on both windage and elevation.

SCMA-1

Well thats good. But Bushnell has better glass than Millett correct? I saw one person say that in this thread but I would like the opinion of others as well

Super Sniper

as for adjustment range.

He said he was only shooting 300yards or so.

And if he goes to 1k, a 20moa base would be in order.

I've recently got a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 Mildot and it's really nice. Far better than the Bushnell's to me. Around $220 too.

aermotor,
Where did you buy it at?

That's what I run on my 22 precision rifle.

There are a lot of super scopes in your price range that will get you to 500-600yds. The problem is when you try to reach out 800-1000yds your lobbing the round. You need too much elevation adjustment for a lot of scopes. Second you'll want the sharpest image possible. The Super Sniper (I'm told) has the elevation range.

The 30mm Vortex crossfire and vipers have lots of adjustment. I think like 65moa to 100moa depending on which one.

I'm seeing all kinds of claims of "my scope can beat up your scope". Let's try some objective rankings. Note that these are not in 100% agreement with each other.

Not objective and not accurate. I like how the opticstalk one puts durability at 15% of the rating. Most guys competing/hard hunting with their optics would put that above optical clarity. I do.

Have any of you tried Falcon scopes?
