.223 scope

[Fyrtwuck]

I'm looking for a scope that is auto ranging, hopefully mil-dot, 3x9 varaible to mount on a bolt action .223. The rifle didn't cost much, so I'm not looking to put a very expensive scope on it.

Any suggestions?

Bushnell makes a "banner" that has a higher power then you are looking for but is a mil dot and should be found for 100 bucks. 223 is a popular varmint cartridge. What are you wanting to do with it?

I have a Busnhell 3200 Elite mildot 10x40 that runs sweet on my .223 varmint rig. Very economical. Nice glass for the money--clarity is excellent for the price point ($175).

If your budget's limited, you get better glass with fixed power.

I like to target shoot. I used to shoot competition hi-power for the Air Force when I was in. I like the idea of a variable range finding scope. I don't shoot the matches anymore since I had shoulder surgery. I went from .308 down to .223. I'm trying to build a rifle that i can shoot a group about the size of a skeet at 200 yards.

What does auto ranging mean?

Only one scope I know of that fits your bill...

Maybe a better term would be Bullet Drop Compensating. It automatically adjusts your elevation as you change the magnification. They usually have raange estimating marks inside the scope that you can use to estimate your range with.

I have one of those mounted on my DSA FN-Fal. Thats the only .308 I can shoot nowdays.

While not a auto adjust scope, the WOTAC 4-14X50 is an easy to use, good quality scope. They are in Glenpool. http://www.sightwonders.com/home.html
I'm waiting on my 2nd one.

Never heard of that feature. And that's quite another thing from a BDC reticle.

I vote the Leatherwood is the only one, like the man said, that is "auto ranging", as I understand that phrase.
