Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics A Good Affordable 3x9x40

I know that's a contradiction . It's been awhile since I paid attention to what available. ,. Something to go on a backup rifle and not go for chit after a couple of trips to the range. 30-06 Enfield BSA factory sporter, it's an accurate hunting rifle. .

Did someone say BSA enfield? Well, this is what I use on mine:

Model B^^

Model E:



Keep it simple. Not much compares (in this price range) to the Burris FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle.

Fullfield is the go to for reliable and affordable

Agreed. The Fullfield II is the way to go.

Another vote for the Fullfield II or Fullfield E1. I believe that the new Fullfield IV is Chicom made.

Just picked up a FFII myself. If you’re worried about BC caps, it’s no biggie. I set it straight on 5x and turning to 9x puts it at about 3:00. Going lower isn’t bad. The lid is a little obstructive, but lays pretty flat. I think a little shaving in it and it’ll lay even lower.

I think I have three FF IIs now, and a 30mm E1. Also an E1 4.5-14. Not crazy about the later BP reticles, but zero issues with the scopes. $190 is the most I paid for any of them.

If you find some extra money in some old pants, Trijicon still has several 3-9s starting at about $500.

There are quality dependable offerings in budget 3-9's offered by Burris, Hawke and Athlon

A Bushnell Elite would be a good choice! I believe ALL of the Elites were made in Japan. Not sure if the newer "tacticooler" chinese scopes are in the same ballpark though.

I guess I am missing something. Are USA consumers really purchasing and supporting these Chinese CCP (Hawke and Athlon, not sure about the current Burris) made goods? Have you had your head in the sand?
China is not your friend.

Doug is in New York, has been very good to the ‘fire, and offers impeccable service. I don’t think he’s responsible for our country’s economic policy.

Just a thought while sitting in my Chinese made office chair typing on my Chinese made iPhone.

Comrade,
Sounds like you have already surrendered. Not me !!! F*** the CCCP

Seriously? So you don't have a vehicle? You don't have any appliances in your home? You don't have a laptop or phone? No heating and AC in your home? What device are you using to post here? Think about that for a moment.

Well stated...

Bobby,
YES , Seriously!!!
One of our greatest freedoms is hunting and shooting. The CCP wants to end all democracy and the freedoms we enjoy.
The CCCP is in the largest military buildup in the history of the world. Some items we are forced to buy Chinese at this time, Sport Optics is not one of them. The CCP hates America. Sounds like you have surrendered too!!! Time to open your eyes on what is going on in the world. The CCP what’s to end our way of life, and our children’s future is at stake.

If China dropped a billion rounds of 22LR on the market for $0.99/box it’d be gone in15 minutes. Maybe 20.

So don’t buy a scope. I’m sure that the USA market share is pretty small. Who knows....except Doug

Comrade 16,
Feels like you support the CCP and or have a defeatist passive attitude.
Not sure where you have been the last decade. The CCP has infiltrated our major universities/colleges with spies, the CCP is spending billions of dollars in attempts to hack our military and technology companies. The CCP cheats, steals , and bribes their way while people like you and Bobby give them a pass. I have been to Beijing and Shanghai 6 times in the past 30 months. I have experience first hand what is going on there. We have more control over our purchases. Has your head been in the sand the past decade and especially the past 15 months? Do you not understand the CCP hates the USA?
It’s passive and naive people like you who will wake up one day and ask what has happened, and respond maybe we should have paid attention. So sad.
Go ahead and be proud of your value CCP made sport optics while you are hunting or shooting in your free country. Maybe you don’t care but I will guarantee the majority of us do care. F*** the CCP !!!

Who is the maker of this scope ?

Thanks
