Gut Pile 32 OP 4 point G Joined: Nov 2018 Posts: 306 Alabama	Recently had a browning bbr in 7mm mag handed down to me. Looking to put a scope on it. Can’t really spend more than 500-600 but I feel like it deserves the best I can get. I like the idea of open turrents but not a deal breaker and would like 50mm. Thank y’all

My 2 cents, regardless of which scope you pick...make sure you buy quality rings/bases to mount the optic. They don’t have to be expensive just dependable. We’re not dead. We just smell that way.

Seems like I bought one a few years ago on sale for $699.00. Pretty decent scope for the money. Good luck. Hunting brings out the worst in people.

I paid $389 i think. It was marked down about $300. Has a mildot reticle, which im not particularly fond of but i havent had any trouble with it. It shows up pretty good in low light. The nitro i got fron europtics 1/2 off, then got a $60 rebate card from bushnell. Ended up with about $230 in it Last edited by jwalker77; 01/05/21 05:26 PM.
