kdub Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi guys and gals. Looking for some advice on a new scope for my .243 Tikka T3. I currently use a bushnell elite 3200 5-15 x 50 and find it ok. However I would like a bit more power say 6-24 x 50/56 and a bit better lens quality for night shooting. I like the scope and will keep my bushnell as a backup as I can't really fault it over the past 18 months. My dilema is that even though I keep looking at various scopes I have no idea whats good out there. I have a budget of around 500-550 and would push that out to 600 if that gets me the next level up so to speak. I would appreciate any suggestions or advice guys. Cheers Kev.

bullet boy Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Kev,i swear by Schmidt and Bender.I have a 3-12x50 S&B Klassik,and for low light and night time shooting on my Tikka T3 Lite 22-250,this scope is fantastic!I`m sure that there are many other good quality scopes out there for this,but i`m more than happy with this particular scope,also i picked it up £500 second-hand,as they are over a grand brand new.ATB mate.

kdub Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks BB but I am looking for a more high power zoom say a minimum of x20. Looks a nice scope though. Its a bloody minefield out there as far as scopes. There are at least 5 or 6 that fits the bill such as Leupold 6.5-20x50 30 mm LRT VX-111 Target BUSHNELL 6-24x50mSF E4200 30mm MATTE MilDot w/SHADE Zeiss 6.5-20x50 Conquest SF Matte Z-plex Reticle Telescopic Sight (This one is a good bit out of my price range but I know wil be a very good scope) and a few cheaper options such as the nighteater series. Anybody use any of the above for night shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyhaw Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 i bought 2 scopes on ebay before christmas, paid £350 for s&bender hungarian 30mm 8x56 fixed as new condition and a zavaroski 8x50 30mm as new also for £350, just know what you want and set a price and dont go above it, also dont bid the price up. only make your move near the end.
