Just found a VX3i 3.5-10x40 on Ebay for $290. I decided to snatch it up. Happy hunting.

I really like the VX2's...2-7, 3-9 or 4-12 now that the 3-9 Conquest is no longer made.

VX3 3.5 X 10 or 4.5 X 14. And I prefer the CDS versions.

Looking for a scope <$400 to sit on top of a Remington 700 .25-06 deer rifle. What would you recommend? Take a peek at what GPO has to offer. If you purchase one and do not like it or agree it is a great scope for the $$$ we will take it back. Through next week we are also running a gift card promo with GPO's https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...tics-promotion-limited-time#Post12286553

A second vote for the Leupold 6 by 36mm. These have quite a long mounting span and are very nice scopes. I think if you watch Opticsplanet.com has special sales of 10 or 11% extra off their wholesale price so you can pick up a new one during these sales for about $275. I've used them for years and always been happy with their selection. Good luck in your pursuit....

Buying a scope on Ebay is like finding a brain surgeon on Craig's List.

Bought several rifle scopes off Ebay from established reputable sellers without a hitch. Due diligence.

I've bought and sold scopes on Ebay with absolutely no problems at all. Found some DAMN good deals too.....  Here's one of my last ones, which is a harder to find model: Nikon monarch UCC: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/rrFddiD.jpg) Can't tell it from new and it's working great on my new Tikka t3x superlite 7mm rem mag...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

However, I would caution you to check it thoroughly upon receipt and verify the serial no# with Leupold. There are a lot of Leupold counterfeits out there on eBay. Will do. The seller has a 100% rating with 20k+ transactions so I felt pretty good that I am getting the real deal. I'll definitely call them to verify though.

Ssramage: I would go with whats on one of my 25/06's - the Leupold 4.5x14 with adjustable objective and fine Du-Plex crosshairs.
VERY hard to find anything this great scope doesn't do - at least I haven't been able to find anything it can't do.

Probably a bunch scopes that will work fine. I just put a SWFA SS 6X on my rifle and it's going on its first hunt here shortly. After my initial shooting and pointing in the woods getting a feel for it, I have to say I'm pleased. It is a little heavy, but on a flyweight rifle the resulting package is still pleasant. Clarity and light gathering seem quite good. I think the reticle will work. I'd prefer the thick portion come in a little closer, but honestly it does seem to be working fine even when pointing in dark woods.

I put a $200 classifieds 6x42 M8 on my B78 two bit and never looked back. Seems to work just fine.
