[QUOTE="cimarronvalley, post: 1023700, member: 10999"] Over 30 years of testing various scopes ($19.99-1,347), I've found that, recently, the best scopes in the $200-400 range are the following: - Burris FFII/Pentax Pioneer - Nikon Monarch - Nikon Coyote - Nikon Bushmaster - Nikon Primos - Leupold VXIII (fuzzy glass at long range and poor light). These scopes maintained Point of Impact (POI) within one inch through various power settings. Notice Bushnell is not on the list? Have you considered a fixed power scope? I use them on my iron sight rifles with see through scope mounts (the guys give me a hard time about see through mounts on this forum since they have to rise their cheeck an inch and can no longer nap). Burris and Nikon make excellent 4x, 6x, and 8x scopes. Remember that the Mil-Dot sighting system is based on fixed 10X. I ranked my scope picks based on price, glass clarity, and accuracy through power settings. These recommendations are only IMHO and based on my observations using 36 scoped weapons in inventory.
