Budget'ish 4-12x40 scope recomendations?

[Vapor]

And btw.... After this thread I started looking online and it seems retailers are running on empty. All the best deals are gone. Out of stock is the most popular tune.
Horrible time to buy most stuff it seems.

Good thing I have a Japanese weaver in reserve.

I actually have a nikon as a spare scope too.


I have spare mounts, rings, etc too.

Likely not the end of the world but the nikons are no longer covered under warranty.

Can you window shop at a local gun shop?

Ended up purchasing a Burris e1 it was cheaper than the Nikons and should do what I need it to acceptably.

It should be here in a week,the Nikons that I wanted seem to have become unobtannium even through close out specials or people want obscene prices for them.

Yes,

I have one in 3-9. I would say the glass is better than my prostaff.

Very robustly made for a hunting scope. G2g

The link you posted turned me onto them,I honestly only knew of Burris from their reflex sights,didnt know they made glass optics too.

It's an old name. They used to be made in the us, but like so many, they eventually shifted production. In doing so own their own factory in the Philippines. They use steel on steel internal and double erector springs.

Glass quality is good. My E1 is on par with any nikon or low level leupold I own.

My 1-4 Mtac is on par with my higher end leupold and Japanese scopes.

When I reach for a currently in production scope, I go with Burris or Leupold. I hope you like yours.

Well the scope arrived this evening,I thought it had the balistic plex reticle but it has the ballistic plex E1 reticle which I do not care for as it is obnoxiously small for my taste.
I thought I was getting the one on the lower right,it ended up being the one on the upper left,error on my part,hopefully they will take it back.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine is just a plain duplex.

Good luck with the return
