Actually, I would bet that 99+ % of the folks who participate here who actually have something valuable to contribute probably find my posts civil. Yes sir. Whether that is in agreement or not, you would be very hard pressed to find me showing your level of disrespect and "potty mouth" toward other people whom I regularly converse with on this forum. Once again, right on the money. Frankly that's none of your business though as your gutter mouth seems to know no boundaries with practically everyone you've come into contact throughout the Campfire forum. Truer words were never typed.

Rd Finn,
Typical arrogant , horsecrap from a twit like you who is full of himself.
You should work for Obama, your self-righteous indignation would go far in the current Whitehouse.
I fixed your little "speech" above with the truth that you left out posted in red.

Really? based on all of the Snide "driveby posts"( like you started on the first coubple of pages here)- It would be hard to see that.
Whether that is in agreement or not, you would be very hard pressed to find me showing your level of disrespect and "potty mouth" toward other people whom I regularly converse with on this forum.
Except of course for the way you behave towards me and the comments you make on other posts.
Yes I have argued withbadgered) Eremicus many, many times and when I've shown frustration (or maybe disrespect)
No basically, you and the other ABL Jackals here make fun of him at every opportunity.
I have apologized as I just did recently and openly.
You needed to
Frankly that's none of your business(yes it is when you pull the same crap on me) though as your gutter mouth seems to know no boundaries with practically everyone you've come into contact throughout the Campfire forum.
Actually my "disrespect " is pretty much limited to you to YOU and about 3-5 other idiot pals of yours here. Saying it is to "everyone" I coverse with here is simply not the truth ,but then again you are not about the truth. Just playing your smug little games here on the 'fire.. Like the REDICULOUS posting of the Leupold Logo as your Avitar just so you can hide behind it when you post/agree with lies told by your "ABL" buds here.
You are sad little coward.

The rest of us can honestly talk about optics while you two idiots trade compliments and tell each other how "superior" you think you are.

I'm leaning towards a Redfield or Burris after this discussion.
Thanks for all of the thoughts. Apparently , some folks value RD Finn's and Magnumdood's "wisdom" less than they do..

RDFinn, jim 62 et al...
why dont you guys create a fight thread of your own and let rest enjoy and discuss the thread? I am sure the OP does not care about the underlying issues of the disagreements and grievances between you.
As a fairly new member I say most of the time I come here for help/advice/knowledge, not the have see post hijacked by schitt shows. For writing so tough you sure are all sensitive to other posters opinions on gear.

Looks like I was pretty close when I guesstimated your graduation age of 23 from high school.

Well you arrogant Yankee P.O.S., if I am so "irrelevant" why do you respond?

But if you look at the OP-Quickdraw's post above, he has gotten good opinions on his origional question . Despite RD and Magnumdood's attempt to make this into a Vortex Commerical/Soap opera.

Unless we're discussing the American League East MLB team in the Bronx, New York City, I've never thought of "Yankee" as a bad thing.

Vortex Viper at Cameraland for $179.00. Koshkin rated it among the best of the <$200 scopes. I have one, and it is very nice. It would be a good scope at twice that price. +1 on the Vortex Viper 2x7 very nice for the money

Bushnell 3200 Elite 3-9X40. They are cheap on eBay. Or you can buy a brand that nobody's ever heard of.

What would you pick for a decent but relatively inexpensive scope for a backup deer rifle (mauser 308)?
Nikon buckmaster 3-9x40
Nikon prostaff
Burris fulfield II
Redfield 3-9x50
Leuopold Rifleman
Any other?
Key criteria are light transmission and holding zero. I love the Nikon Prostaff and use them on most of my deer rifles. Having just bought a Leupold VX-I, I won't be buying another Leupold.

Thanks for all of the thoughts. You know Magnumretard, it is realy a shame that while you keep harping on your jeuvenile anti Leupold BS , the OP here is IGNORING YOU. It looks like he IS going to either a with a Redfeild(Leupold )or a Burris. Funny he did not mention the Vortex you pimp here so often. You really should talk with J Burns about ditching those "inferior" Leupolds on his Long range rifles. Or save all those US Soldiers who will be using Leupold scopes on the new SASSm110 Contract rifles for the Army.

Thing is, only the Burris was on his original list. I'd say the OP got some interesting advice on an inexpensive scope to put on his mauser .308 backup rifle. (Not on a SASSm110 rifle. Maybe that discussion should be on a separate thread? Military sniper rifle scopes, anyone???  )

The place to ask about sniper scopes is on Sniper's Hide where actual snipers post.
