Best FFP scope for the buck?

[Hard rock]

I am surprised no one mention the Meopta Optika6 3-18x50 FFP. I have 2, 1 on a 6.5cm and one on a .308 Win. hunting rifle. Love em. 30mm tubes, great Euro glass, and built tough. I have run my turrets up and down over 100 times and always a reliable return to zero with the zero-stop. I have the MOA turrets on mine. Euro quality for sub $700.

On all my post I recommend Meopta more scope for your money than any others out there not made in China I know Athlon Vortex etc are great scpoes but as an American gun owner I'm not buying Chinese if I have to go back to open sights

SWFA 3-15x42 and at the current price bushnell DMRIIi for freaking $700. It's normally a $1400 scope.

Where are you finding the Bushnell scope for that price

Used SWFA fixed 10X

I mean- technically I suppose that meets the FFP requirement of the OP, but, and I am taking an educated guess here, I believe we are not talking about fixed power scopes.

Leupold Mark 5. Nice solid clicks, good tracking, decent glass and solid reticle; not too thick or to thin.

I think your right. But since it meets the requirements and in my opinion is a good scope for the money I thought I would suggest it. Now truth be told, when it comes to scopes, my opinion isn't worth much.

I am old and like sfp scopes on my hunting rigs.i guess an old dog can't learn new tricks. All that twisting knobs and dials takes time you may not have during the hunt. Bench rest or staged shooting ffp is ok. I also fear having things hanging out that can be bumbed or move during the hunt. I know I am in the minority on this.....but I am with most new fangled things.

Agree! My 4.5-14 vx3 1" tube 40 mm lens and a CDs turret on a 7mm RUM. Just got it back from them after I sent it to them to have it cleaned up a new gas. There was nothing wrong with it other than the rubber eye piece guard was missing which they replace and gave it some TLC

I like my 4-16x44 vortex diamondback.
$350

Midway has/had? a sale where DMRIIi were $700

 

[bgouin]

Athlon ares btr is really reasonable. They function well, but not the best Glass you'll ever look through.

I'm also a fan of the leupold vx3-lrp line. I own quite a few of them. If you are in the market, they are still on the shelves for now, but not for long

I also have a vs 3I lrp and I like it a lot.
