It'll be mostly target, not looking at spending a lot. I'm looking at a bsa sweet .22- $50 on amazon after shipping. Lets say a cap of about $80.
The Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 (rimfire, standard plex, or BDC ) looks like it can be had in the $120-130 range and should give you good glass and reliable tracking. Not to mention the solid customer service reputation, even on base models.
work to their owners' satisfaction.
My fiance just got a Savage Mark II and is looking for a good scope to go with it. Anyone have recommendations for scopes you have used and like or any we should steer clear of?
Resale on a scope is nearly always less than 50% off of retail and many shops always have a few laying around.
not nessessarly the case. If you buy high quality optics you rarly lose 20%. if you look at the cortex pst series a brand new front focal plane is 949. if you see one pop up used for 875 you better act quickly because it wont last long. that is less than 10% loss
Scopes are a "buy once, cry once" kind of purchase IMO. I would not spend less than about $200 and Weaver, Bushnell 3200 Elite, Vortex, Nikon, Leupold, and Meuller would be names that I looked for. Save a little longer, wait patiently if you can. You'll thank me later.
BSA starts with BS for a reason.
