Best FFP scope for the buck?

[Deleted member 115360]

I just had a run in with their customer service. I made a post about it a few nights ago. I wouldn't buy anything from them. Some of the worst I've ever seen. The guy told me, "we didn't make it, it was made In a factory in china. I'll see if there is something in the owner's manual that will help you". And other such hits as "well, take it back to the store where you got it and see if they will refund or exchange it".

The primos call thread? Bushnell does the customer service for things other than their scopes?

Bushnell customer services is first rate...only had to use it once...and was replaced with a new scope...the DMR for 700 or the LRTS is top for the cash spent...

Bushnell, primos, hoppes, weaver, and a few others are all the same folks answering the phone. They can read the owner's manual to you, and that is all of the tech support they can offer

Bushnell Elite LRHS is a different beast, its a LOW scope not a cheap Chinese scope.

Another inexpensive brand with good ffp options is Riton. I've got 4 or 5 of their scopes laying around. They punch above their weight

You may want to check out Vortex's Diamondback Tactical FFP. They make a 4-16 and a 6-24.

What's your budget? That can make a difference on the recommendations.

look through his channel. does a lot of scope reviews, tracking and clarity was my top 2 things. pretty unbiased on the reviews as he buys or barrows them and isn't sponsored to say nice things

i picked up a Riton conquer x3 6-24 FFP on their .mil discount and well, let's just say for the price it's worth paying what they normally sell for.

after receiving my scope his review was pretty spot on.

oh and there is a saying i think that goes -

"spend at least half of what you spent on the rifle for a scope"

Just don't ask anyone about that bushnell customer service. Probably neck and neck with Barska.

In fact, they probably make them side by side in the same Chinese factory.

LRTS/HS etc are made in Japan.

I wish!
90% of the scopes that I own cost as much if not 2 or 3 times the cost of the rifle's they set on.

Bushnell has always done right by me and Chinese or not they are one heck of a scope for the money, I have 2 Chinese Forges,6 Korean Nitro's and 1 LRTS and they are all the same quality

I think the $700-800 range is what is possible. Thanks all, for the excellent feedback... I'll check out these suggestions.
I am in the N Denver/Boulder area and I do know a mfg manager for Burris so thanks for that tip.

If your use will be mostly hunting, the Burris Veracity is very good
