new scope??

I will hopfully be buying a Ruger M77 MarkII that fires a .270 Win. from a buddy and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a new scope!

Nightforce! lol A nice scope is a Leupold VX-III I have one on my 30-06 for deer hunting, and I love it.

Really we need moe info, what's it goiing to be used for? how much does he want to spend...

well its gonna be my rifle, Im gonna use it mainly for deer and other deer sized game, Im trying to stay under 200

I was going to say those new Leupold VX-L look cool if you have about $900 burning a hole in your pocket :p
I've bought a couple used VXII's for around $200.

well my pops has some Leupolds on his rifles, but im buyin this rifle cheap, and Im not gonna put a scope that costs twice as much on the rifle haha

Look into Swift scopes then. I have several and find them a bargain for the clarity and ability to handle recoil without rattling loose.

The only scope I can recommend for under $200 is the Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 Mildot. However, since it is a fixed power scope, it would not be suitable for hunting. Do yourself a favor and either save up for a decent scope or buy used. You get what you pay for in optics.

Actually, spending a lot more on glass than on the rifle is often a very wise thing to do. Quite often, the scope is the weak link in the accuracy equation not the rifle.

You'll notice what I put on my "beater" Mossberg ATR-100 in .270:

You can rest assured that the Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10 on that rifle cost over twice what the rifle did, and would cost even more today.... if they still made them. :)

I agree with the above post on Swift. Nice scopes for the price with a lifetime warrenty. The company he gave you info for has a sale going right now. Check them out.

A guy that comes in the store alot sold me a 3 - 12 by 50 Burris Black Diamond for 250, he is also gonna give me a brand new spotting scope when I get back from my fishing trip in couple of weeks! I dunno if I wanna put it on my .270win. or .300wsm haha

I believe Natchez is having a sale on their Bushnell 3200 series scopes. Great scopes for the $$$. I think you can get a 3-9x for about two bills.

Check out the mueller scopes.I have three mounted on 2 rifles and 1 shotgun,they have been flawless.Good scopes for $$ spent.:)

Im trying to stay under 200

Easy: Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x

Or, for a little more, a Leupold VX-II 3-9x.

Nikon Buckmasters wuld be my personal pick, but I see a Weaver Grand Slam in the future.
