I have put my dollar cap at $160. But I am looking for the best buy for the money and something that will hold zero and Ill actually be somewhat competitive with (Along with the rifle). I am looking at the BSA but I found an NCStar and I know a lot of people dont like NCStar but the specs on it are.

10x40x50

Its has a built on shade.

It has a range finder reticle and is green illuminated.

It also has a side focus, I think that may be a negative.

Is there a negative to the illuminated reticle? To the rangefinder reticle?
Should the shades be removable (Maybe so you can change them out for sunlight)?

Are NCStar's just junk?

I know $160 and under are cheap scopes but like I posted in another thread, I want to get the best that I can for what I pay. Thats why I keep asking about scopes. It seems there are tons to choose from in that price range. I have found Simmons, BSA's, Konus, Tasco, NCStars, and others at 6-24 and higher. I think I even saw a Nikon on Amazon for under $160.

I have an 6.5-20 power scope but haven't shot in the match. Look at the post and SubGunFan has a post with everyone's rifle and scope. Most of the scopes are about $100 less than what you have in mind. A big thing is good ammo, that wolf match and match extra seem to be a big hit but as 'Neck told me, find a brand that will pattern well. You can dial it in after that.
You a member of Magnolia? I'd loan you some ammo and see how it shoots in your rifle. BTW, what rifle are you planning on using?

 

[TankerHC]

I am a member of Magnolia. I am going to be using a Savage Mark II.

I'll loan you some rifle ammo but they sell the wolf match ammo at that pawn shop on Terry Rd. just north of Battlefield Park on the left. Let me know if they are out and I'll loan you a 3-4 boxes to sight in and for the match.

OK, greatly appreciate it. Have a little work to do on the gun first then get a scope and mount it.

I'm not a scope expert to say the least but Natchez has the Nikon prostaff scopes on sale right now. I just bought a 3-9x40 for my new Henry H001 for 99 bucks and I also have a 3-9x50 on my 308. I recenty bought a Simmons whitetail classic from Midway 6-14x50 but haven't used it much. It was around 100 dollars. I also hear a lot of good stuff about the Meuller APV for a little over 110 and the Bushnell banner is on sale at a lot of places for under a hundred. There are some very good deals on scopes right now.

I've had bad luck with simmons and bushnells. Love the nikon prostaff but I'd suggest at least the 4-12x40 for your 22. 3-9 is just on the lowside IMO for bullseye shooting at 100 (at least with my eyes).

I just ordered a vortex 6-24x50 for my 17hmr. Hopin I like that. One of these days I wanna buy a savage mk2 TR and top it with that nikon monarch in 8-32x50 but that may or may not happen as I have a ton of projects I need to finish up as it is. If it does I wanna come play.

Check out swfa.com. They seem to have some good prices.

I paid $160 for my shooters edge. It's a 6x24x50 with a 30mm tube at vans.
