Recommend a scope for .270 Win

any will do what you want, Leupold is the best scope listed will have the best glass.

 

Leupold

 

I've owned a redhead and it was an ok scope. I don't know how it compares to a 70s model luepold.

 

I have a Nikon 3x9x40 on my .270 handy rifle. I could probably find something nicer but since it's not my main rifle for anything I'm not going to bother with it. I'm thinking that Redhead scope would be my choice.

 

I quit deer hunting in 1993. One of the biggest regrets of my life, was selling my Remington 700 ADL in .308. I had a Redfield 3-9x40 on it and it would shoot .75 MOA all day long with redbox Federal, .25 MOA with Gold Box. I'm talking me shooting it off the bench at 100 yards. Not having a hunting use for it is not necessarily a good reason to let it go.

I wouldn't hesitate to put a Tasco on it, but Luepold is better.

 

Got a Bushnell Sportview, been on a 30.06 for 25 + yrs.
sighted in once, still good for minute of deer.

 

Steve for what you are going to be doing I would suggest whatever fits your eye the best. Some folks hop up and down for a nightforce. I don't see through them worth a crap and wouldn't buy one. Forget about names, try what you have, and put the best one on it

 

Choosing what you have as a selection I'd have to go
with #4,the older Leupold, if it should malfunction you
should know that their warranty is for life even if you
are not the original owner. A relative of mine bought a
used 44X competition scope that dated from the 1980s
for a few hundred dollars and it lasted about a year when
it went belly up so he sent it back to Leupold for repair
and they informed him that they no longer had the
parts on hand to service that model SO, they sent him
a BRAND NEW Competiton model 45X and it was priced
MSRP at $1429.00 and all he paid for the one that died
was $300.00, hard to match that deal getting a nearly
five to one return on value, the only other make I'd
suggest that isn't on your list is a Vortex since on paper
at least they offer the same unconditional repair and or
replace warranty as Leupold does. Good luck whichever
you ultimately choose.

 

+1 on vortex.
Y'all are gonna come to know me as the guy that always preaches about vortex' on every scope thread I've come across I start hollerin vortex.

 

If you have in the back of your mind, selling the gun in the fall, I would not get a high dollar scope.
Here,s why, the future buyer is not going to want to buy the gun and give you what you have in the scope too. With few exceptions. Most scopes today have a Lifetime warranty. I would get a Tasco World Class scope in 3x9x50mm for 60 dollars from Natchez or a 3x9x40 stainless for $49.99.
I have a Tasco Pronghorn that I have had on a Marlin 39AS for 28 years. It will shoot a 3/8s inch group at 37 yards . Now if you want to keep a scope, you can pay as much as you choose.
For a scope under 100 dollars, they can,t be beat for clarity and durability.
I like Leupold, Nikon, Swift, and Zeiss if I want hunting scope for serious deer hunting. But I had a best friend that has passed on now and he had Tasco on his 270 that I gave him.
