Just put my savage model 12FLV(left handed) .22-250 on lay-away. I would like to have a scope for it before or at the same time of making the full purchase.
I really dont want to pay more for the scope than i did the the gun.
So i guess im looking to pay at most $500 for the scope. Im looking for a range finding/tactical scope more than anything. If anyone has any suggestions on one i would appreciate it, or even just a regular mult-powered scope w/o the range finder.
Cabelas has one in its own brand name called the the "centerfire turret tactical scope". I seen it carrys turrets for .22-250 rounds. but for the highest power scope 6-18X only being a 170.00 I cannot imagine them to be all that good in quality. Does anyone have any experience with their brand of scopes?
slickest - boy asking what scope to put on a gun opens up a big can of worms. I suspect that everyone has their favorite. Personally I have Weavers on all of my weapons. 36 fixed - three KT15 (which I think are the best scope of all) and two V series 16/24. I think first you have to determine what the weapon will be used for. If your quick hunting - a fixed scoped would be the best - varmint hunting - a multi - power scope is best. If your hunting in heavy wooded area - a low power - or open range like Idaho is - a higher power or multi power scope. Leupold scopes are some of the best - just way out of my price range. I know I did not answer your question - but I think your going to be the one to decide on what scope you "need" rather than want. Buy the very best you can afford - some of my scopes have been on many weapons - while the weapons have been traded off - the Weaver scopes stay with me. - some of my scopes are older than member here at PU....oh my gosh ----:blink:
For coyotes and other pests, you might want to check out the Super Sniper Scope on Google.
This scope is fixed power, but what rave reviews for $300 and change. It does wonders on my .220 Swift.

Take a look at the Mueller scopes at their website-I bought a 4x16 tacticle and put it on a ASI custom mini,and no regrets!Clarity of a leupold(and I own many leupolds),built solid enough to handle the abuse of the mini bolt"slap",good adjusting mech's,and the option of illuminated reticle,at half the price.I would buy another to put on a new gun!
Id do a leupold 4-14x40mm VXIII long range with The varmint reticle thats if I had an extra 600 bucks laying around for a scope. but since I dont I usually opt for millet or bushnells in the same magnification class.
Im a big fan of Burris' Ballistic Plex reticle and have a few Fullfield IIs. If you have the money I would shoot for the 4.5x14-42 AO Fullfield II with Ballistic Plex. I mean, if you just have to have the big magnification you could do 6.5x20-50 but I havent been in any situation where I HAD to have a magnification above 14x but....I also live in the mountains and wide open spaces with more than 400 yards are few and far between. Anyway, I swear by Burris scopes and they have the excellent Forever warranty which has been very forgiving to me.
I have just purchesed a tikka t3 stainless in 22-250 and have a Leupold VII zeroed at 100 yds and wondered if this scope is capeable of adjusting enough to shoot 600 yds?
