Looking for a scope for a 260 I just bought. Using it for hunting with possible shots up to
300 yards and target shooting. Would like to have a scope with an elevation adjustment. I am not really a Leupold fan. What do you suggest fellas?

Leupold VX-2 or 3 with CDS
or a Leupold MK-AR mod 1
if you dont mind the weight, SWFA fixed scopes seem nice.

Buy a leupold,,,,,,,,,I bought a 1.5 x 5 in 1980 it looked a little dull I sent it in for service they sent me a brand new scope.There are many fine scopes but im partial to leupolds.
The fullfield 2 by burriss is also a nice scope. I have one in 2x7 its a good buy for around 150 dollars. 4x12 might be a nice
all purpose........

I think I am just going to take my Nikon Monarch off my muzzle loader for now. I have a Burris I can but on the muzzle loader. I haven't received the rifle yet, so I can get a feel for it and see where I want to go with it. Thanks for the reply. I have heard GREAT things about the Leupold 6x42 and seriously thinking about getting one. How much does the Mod 1 cost?

If I didn't want a Leupold I would get a Jap made Weaver K4 4x38 or K6 6X38.

Weaver Classic K4, if you're only shooting 300 yards...why bother with a knob?

Super sniper fixed 10 power. I Also like 14 power variables for all around use.
I don't think a elevation turret necessary to shoot to 300yds. But would be nice ounce you start going farther. I sent my old school viaX III in for repairs. Horizontal adjuster quit working cost me shipping and 60 bucks for the repair.
Sightron and vortex hands down have the best warranty in the buisness. I a different leo rifle and I kinda, fell off a cliff that one was about 120 fix.
I do believe I'll be trying vortex, I just got a pair of there viper HD binos and [bleep] they're awesome and I never have to worry about braking them or my horse falling on them or bucking me off and smashing them on a rock.

I have a Meopta Meopro 6-18x50 with a BDC reticle on my 260.
Excellent glass and the hash marks are spot on for 120 grain ballistic tips. Shot out to 600 yds with better accuracy than any of my rifles.

Meopta Meopro 3-9x42, the Weaver Classic V's are decent, Bushnell Elites would work too or become a Leupold fan.

I put Burris 2-7 with the BDC lines in them on my boys Rem 7 & 700 and they worked out great. Easy quick compensation to the max effective range of the gun. Compact enough to look right on such a small rifle.

Had a Meopta 6x42 on my 260. Now wears a Vx3. Love both. On a Mod 7 though I think I like the 2.5-8x36 idea. K6 for cheap and dang good is never a bad idea. Whatever you get I would keep it somewhat compact and light.
