Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics What is best scope under $200?

Best scope for the money, hands down IMO. Have been abusing several for some time now......

after seeing the weaver classic against some other scopes, i would ad it to the list too.

+1

Would add, Burris FF II as an alternative as well.

Would agree with that Brad. For slightly over $200 in the Burris you can also get a GPS, Binos, or spotter. It is a great deal with a very scope for the $.

Check out Pentax Pioneer 4.5-14x42mm @ $159.99 and the Pentax Pioneer 3-9x40mm @ $129.99
These are the same as Burris FFII's but for the prices we're selling them at they can't be bested.

Bushy Elite 3200 3-9x40

The one I have is a lot like the 84 toyota pickup I used to have.

Not pretty, didn't get me any chicks.. But got me where I wanted to go, did what I needed it to do, didn't break down, and kept on going even with me thrashing the hell out of it.

RL,I've only had the chance to look through one but the first thing I noticed about it was that the eye relief was MUCH better than Bushnell's specs showed.


til later

I also recommend the Burris FullField II 3-9x40.

The Burris is the same scope as the Pentax Pioneer 3-9x40 that we have on promo for only $129.99

Does the 4.5-14 Pentax have an AO?

Yes it does

Thanks Doug.

I'd go vx-1 3-9x40 or 4-12x40

3-9=$160ish
4-12=$200ish
on ebay of course...

I would go with a used Leup. VXIII...jim

I was 11yrs old when I first used a scoped deer rifle. It was an old Leupold vari-II 3x9. I have been a Leupold fan ever since that time. I think the big eye box of the Leupold helped me shoot better because the rifle was of adult proportions and did not allow me to get a precise sight picture.

Leupold 3X9 VX1 is the right scope.

Hello everyone, I'm still a newbie here, but I have to give Sightron a plug. All my rifles would have Big Skys, if I could afford to start over again, and if I could only afford $200, which is pretty much the case, I would get SIIs. That's not to say that my 3200s and 4200 Elites, and my Burris FII aren't great scopes for the money. Give Sightrons a look.

Thanks for the replies. I have printed and passed along to my friend. Thanks for the help.

I would go with a Weaver 3x9 or 2.5x10. I think they represent a solid value for a repeatable product with good glass.

K Series Weaver in a 6x. Hands down!

I bought a Simmons Atec 2.8x10x44 about five years ago for my slug gun and it has held zero perfect except when I dropped it one year. I think I paid around 170.00 for it. I think it may still be under 200.00 not sure though. Also any of the above mentioned scopes by the other guys would be good also.
