Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics I Need Scope Recommendations

Hey everybody,

So I’ve got a .243, a Remington SPS Varmint in an HS Precision stock, that I want to put a different scope on. It’s got a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10 right now but it’s going to be moving to my .270. I’m interested in what you folks would recommend in a 2/3-12/18ish power range. Tube diameter doesn’t matter b/c I'll be getting new rings anyway. I’d prefer it not be terribly heavy but I rarely hunt with this rifle anymore anyway, it’s mainly a target rifle these days. Illumination is nice but I can take it or leave it. Prefer FFP but I don’t mind SFP. I’m looking in the sub-$750 range. Thanks for the help.

Very clear, I feel it’s more of a target Scope vs hunting. Thin cross hair, solid built
