My BSA is going to need to be replaced before next season. I figured this would be a good time to get a better grade scope on this .270 that I've had for 15+ years. What's the best scope for under $300?
Any input is appreciated. The ones I've look at online are:
-weaver classic extreme
-Vortex Crossfire II 3-12x56 30mm Hog Riflescopes
- Nikon prostaff there isnt one!!! your in real estate, dont be a tight ass!

This isn't that hard, if you can sneak up on a VXIII Leupold jump on it, if not a VXII is plenty of scope for the $ you wanta spend.

I'll have to go against the Prostaff rec's.
I've compared several scopes side by side and developed a rough ranking. I'd definitely recommend the Zeus Conquest and the Vortex Diamondback. I've never looked through the Nikon Monarch scopes, but their binos are pretty solid. Here you go. Great scope and killer deal. Vortex Diamondback 3.5-10x50 Vplex for $189 with free shipping. http://www.fieldandstreamshop.com/p/vort...udmndbck3510opt

Good scopes don't exist for under $300. Espescially the Nikon buckmasters scope. I've owned Meopta, Leupold, Burris , Trijicon and Bushnell. The cheapest scope I've owned is the current Weaver Classic Extreme I have. It's a made in the Philippines, 30mm tube , adjustable illuminated reticle, 2.5x10x50 and I gave $249 for it brand new off Natchez. I sold the trijicon and was going to upgrade to the Leica but couldn't find one used before the season last year so I bought the Weaver to get by. I'm not looking to upgrade anymore if that says anything. I can hunt way later than is legal in the woods and could hunt all night with any moon light in fields. I can't speak to durability yet but optical quality is more than adequate and as good as the Trijicon and Meopta (Meopro) I owned.

Idk but we stuck a cheap $150 nikon on a $400 rem 700 243. Bought at tha walmarts an tha sucker will drive nails. I kilt prolly 25 deer with it an more hogs than you could pile in a semi trailer. So we went an bought same gun in 7mag an 30-06 an stuck some more cheap nikons on them... Tak drivin machines. Ma brother stuck a $75 center point from wally world on his 22-250 an hes kilt deer an pigs at 2 or 300 yards. Difference in them thangs is if they tear up or dont act right ill just takem back an git me anothern.

Bill,I'm sure you know you won't have any warranty with a used Leica. Scopelist has several new ones if you're interested. I bought one of the 2.5-10X42 ERi's with a 4a reticle and a turret. I wasn't all that impressed with it and sent it back. PM me if you are interested in particulars as to what I didn't like. It was a fine low light scope however if that is your only criteria. PS Are any of the Weavers still made in Japan? I liked those I've seen pretty well.
