If you had $200?
What scope would you order for your birthday to ride on top of a .270?
I can't find Nikon Buckmaster a 4-12x40mm for less than $265 (Lifetime Warranty)
Leupold VXII nothing new under $300
Swift Premier 4-12x40mm is $144 but no warranty
I guess I will just keep checking the used glass department if ya'll can't find any better deals than me.

Dang near got myself talked into a burris fullfieldII 3-9x40mmm
Would like to get something for $150 and then spend $50 on new trigger components (Timney)to get an adjustable trigger for Ruger Model77 MarkII.
As far as I can find with lifetime warranties:
Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40mm $209
Nikon Buckmaster 4-12x40 $279
Burris Fullfield 3-9x40mm $179
Leupold VXII 3-9x40 $299
Leupold VXII 4-12x40 $399
Leupold VXIII 3-10x40 $399**
Weaver Grandslam 3-10x40 $249
Weaver Grandslam 4.5-14x40 $329
I would love to spend big bucks on some lovely piece of glass but I just can't swing it.
The 10/22 has stollen the little simmons scope that used to ride on top of the 22Mag. My hunch is that it may lose that in favor of an old fashioned Williams peep sight with a fiber optic front beed.
The Simmons has been earning itself an ejection from the gun cabinet ever since hunting season when I couldn't see anything at dusk at any but the lowest of settings.
What is your take on rifle trigger manufacturers?
Champion has a 'blowout' sale price of $200 even on Weaver Grandslam 3-9x40.
Only problem is that my gun is stainless and a black scope would be a bit unseemly on top.
Natchez (thanx Woody) has Nikon buckmaster 4-12x40 for $259 (in nickel finish to match my stainless deer/pig slayer no less) only problem is they are currently out of stock...waiting patiently
you did send me some tall look through style scope rings. They didn't fit on the Marlin 22MAG
They are currently in between my my old simmons 3-9*22mm (stolen off of 22Mag) and my new ruger10/22
However, I am not really happy with them, They totally obscure the rear blade sight so in order to hit what you want you have to make the front bead just dissappear below the bottom of the look through hole. and because it sets the scope up so high it is being a bitch to get sighted in. If target is too close bullets are low by a bunch, too far, bullets are too low. I now better understand why you want your scope to ride as close to the line of fire as possible.
$200 is what we can realistically spend on frivilous things associated with my birthday. But if another $50 gets me something that much better I will wait and get what I really want.
Unless someone wants to sell me a VXII on the cheap I am going with the Nikon
My wife is a HUGE believer in no receiving of your gifts until the birthday/holiday
Champion also had a used 4-12x40mm only labeled as a Weaver, no model number that I could discern. They had it tagged $100 any ideas? Might look good on top of a .22
Just had a gunshow while I was out of town in Michigan
from now on I think I will only buy blued steel rifles just to make the scope shopping easier.
Most lines of premium optics now make scopes built out of titanium instead of aluminum but just looking at them hurts my pocket book
I probably clean each gun once every three months plus any time I knowingly slime one I give it some TLC when I get home
You clean your shotgun? I have never heard of such a thing
