Need new scope.

[BMCSean]

anybody have experience with that Cabela's? Looking to put it on my AR for fun (not for long) then ultimately mount on a 22. Worth it? or too good of a deal?

I don't even need it and I think I am going to order one.

Its a hella deal! I have been shopping around at many stores the past week, and cannot find a scope even close to it for the price... Marked down $110!!

I'm pretty new to the whole scoped rifle scene and am confused as to why you guys say the cheaper scopes aren't accurate? Is it because the screws back off or the mount loose? Hard to keep centered? I mean I learned on iron sights and can reach pretty far out, not trying to brag just trying to figure out what would make a scope inaccurate.

They'll be built with poor materials, and non-existent QC, so they won't stay zeroed, or the wires of the reticule will slip off the lens it's mounted on, or yes, the turrets won't stay on, or they weren't sealed well, so the glass looks ok in the store, but as soon as the rifle meets a cold morning, it fogs up. The possibilities are endless, and most guys that have nice glass now, have done this dance enough in the past that they want something that will be dependable. It's a crapshoot. If it works for you, bully for you. If it doesn't work, don't beat yourself up too badly. The big deal with me about choosing quality equipment is: the least ethical thing you can do as a hunter, in my opinion, is make an animal suffer, and carelessness in regard to your equipment selection is carelessness in your method of harvesting.

What happened to iron sites?

Not the best idea for ethical game taking at distance, but not the worst thing in the world. His rifle might not have them, either.

I've always hunted deer with a 30-30. When I'm hunting I am always in such dense forest/brush I'm not looking for targets past 100 yards. If you are shooting at anything less than 100 yards, I say just go irons.

Bushnell Banner is worth a look in my opinion. I don't have direct experience with them, but I know of a few hunters that do just fine with those. I'm not talking casual hunters like me either, but more serious hunters.

Granted, some of them would like better - but can't/won't - some don't care and are accustomed to shooting with them.

[Redbeard90gt]

Yup no iron sights on my rifle. Luckily I was able to borrow a rifle for this week's hunt but I gotta get mine ready to go for next weekend. Appreciate everyone's input and advice if I can't find a good used scope next week I'm gonna hit up cabelas and check out what they have.

Shit this is dfwmustangs, we shoot with a Zeiss Hensoldt 6-24x72 SAM. Because our game deserves nothing less.

HELL yeah!

Now, back to looking for cheap scopes because I can't justify Leupold Tactical money.

[dee]

Unless you get a good discount Leupold tactical isn't worth the price.

[Samhain]

Ouch. If you can't afford a $150 scope, you can't afford to deer hunt

I disagree. 99% of what I put in the freezer could be had with just iron sites.

You would have had fun with mine last year at just over 260yds.

Some good deals on Nikon scopes at BassPro. Circular in Sunday paper. I'd go this route over a Bushnell. Been there, done that...
