What scope would you buy?

WCI

Here's the question: Lets say 7 Rem Mag and/or 300 Win Magg. Rem 700
what scope would you buy if money were no object?

what scope would you buy if money was tight?

I am really curious for everyones opionion, I have a couple that need scopes this year but I have been guilty of buying another gun as opposed to buying scopes.

Thanks

Leupold, Schmidt & Bender, Zeiss, or Swarovski... Leupold being last choice, S&B probably being first.

I am a fan of IOR due to the MP8 Dot reticule, http://www.valdada.com/
I would most likely lean toward Night Force a little more if they had the same reticle.

WCI,

If money were no object, USO. I have an ST-10 but like the variable options. I would go for something like feenix but a little different.

If money were a deciding factor I would maybe for a Leupold rifleman, Burris Fullfield II, Nikon Prostaff. all in the 3-9 range. That's plenty of scope for most anything you would need.

To WCI. I am waiting for a Rem.798 SPS I ordered from Cabelas. With promotion and points it is costing me less than $400. If Money was no object I would put a Leupold VX II 4-12x40mm. for about $400. Cause I would not put a $1200 scope on that rifle even if I could afford it. If money was tight I would still put a Leupold VX II 4-12x40mm. on that rifle. I would just save up my money till I got enough for that scope. In other words, that rifle and that scope go together perfectly for my use. That is a perfect marriage for me. So try to think about it in that way. Match the scope to the rifle for your own use.

Zeiss, Schmidt and Bender, Zvarovski, Kahles....

If money was tight; a Burris Signature or Euro Diamond in Burris Signature rings.

You would have a tough time telling the difference between the Burris optical quality and some of the other scopes mentioned.

Nightforce, and if I didn't have enough I would wait until I did.
I like the NP2-DD reticule over any of them...

Depends on the configuration of my rifle.

If it was a slim barreled sporter, I cant see putting a 20X anvil on top of it. I would go with a 2.5-10 Trijicon accupoint or a shepherd low end or a Kahles or Ziess high end.

If it was a bull barreled 1000yard 12pound monster, I would go with a leupold VX-III LR or IOR low end or U.S. optics, Night Force, Swavorski S&B high end.

A lot of good advice, but if money was real tight you would be hard pressed to take a good look at the Nikon Buckmaster BDT. For the money it is a very good value. In fact I prefer it to the new Leupolds, and several of the others mentioned. They now have a lifetime warranty no matter who the owner, which puts Leupold also a step ahead.
