Have you got an old scope

[stilllearning]

Well I done went and done it now and traded some guns I did not use for one I hope to use alot. Here is my new 223






Now this is were I need your help. Did you notice that there was no scope on the gun. I am not into spending alot of money so I am looking for a used scope that still works but is ........ well cheap. Rings and plates area needed as well. So do you have an old scope that you will never use again but are willing to sell let me know.

Thanks

Look on Cabelas..plenty of good scopes cheap.

Bushnell Dawn and Dusk Series is a very good line and easy on the wallet. If your looking for higher power for predator hunting, look into Vortex line of scopes. Don't skimp on the rings, Burris Zee rings or Millet steel rings would be the way to go

Or better yet, sell that rifle, and buy a bow.

LOL @ Spiker. I got a bow thanks to BT now just wanted a new toy so I could reach out and touch those critters.
I will look over cabellas

Keep tabs on the Cabelas Bargain Bin, lots of good deals that flow in and out daily. Also look here, www.swfa.com. They have a great Vortex scope for cheap, only problem is that it is on backorder and you wont see it until april/may. If you can wait, it is well worth the deal. Its a 6-24x50 for $99. swfa.com/Vortex-6-24x50-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P43585.aspx. Be sure to check on other brands too, like Redfield. They just hit the market again and have some GREAT scopes, for $200. Leupold is making them and if you have ever looked through a Leupold, you can guess how clear the Redfield is going to be.

I will say, dont skimp on a scope. A poor scope, leads to poor accuracy. The rule of thumb I TRY to follow is, spend as much on the scope as you did the rifle. If you cant afford that, at least spend half. A cheap scope leads to sighting in problems(tracking) and also clarity at sunrise/sunset. I can say from experience that you will be more satisfied by getting a quality scope than you will by going cheap and get more years of trouble free service.

Have a look at bushnels banner line, I've got one on a 22-250 in 6-18 and it is a great scope for the money(around 200 bucks last I knew), in fact it's nicer than alot of leupolds I've seen.More accurate adjustments too.I'd put it up against most high end scopes no doubt.www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0024531710731a&navCount=3&podId=0024531710731&parentId=cat601564&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat602006-cat601564&catalogCode=XK&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601564&hasJS=true
I wouldn't say you need to spend as much on a scope as you do the rifle, oftentimes it's just like bows you pay for a name.There are some very nice scopes to be had for far less than leupolds, and swarovskis...not that there are anything wrong with most of those, just too frickin high priced when you can have a good scope for less.
Also don't forget to check out Burris's line up.

I hear people dismiss Tasco all the time, but I will tell you that I have been using them for years with zero problems.

I have a World Class 4 x10 x 50 on my 300 Win Mag, and its reached out to touch woodchucks at 500+ yds.

I think I might have something for you let me dig it out. I believe it is a 3x9x40 not sure of the brand it is still new in the package. I will find it by the weekend and send you some picks. I got a deal on it and will sell it for the same price i gave for it.
