Cost of a new scope?

That March, if it had a Plex reticle, would be perfect.

Good luck finding a nice silver finish scope anymore. I found a "Barska". Hope I can do better than that.

I tried to sell 2 LNIB vx3i silver 50mm leupolds with alumina covers on here for months. All I got was the usual lowball bs of "I'll give you $50 bucks for your $400 scope" or the usual back and forth for 2 weeks and 100 text messages and every conceivable pic, after which the potential buyer disappears with no explanation. I ended up selling them in less than a week on craigslist. So check there or gunbroker.

spend $2k-$2500 on a nightforce or us optics.

Rich,

I would let that March of mine you came and looked at go for 5K that will save you a grand.

I heard one should spend 1 1/2-2X as much on a scope as for the rifle. I'm scraping together enough to get a Weatherby titanium 6.5 RPM for over $3,000. I have never heard of a $6,000 scope. What do I do now?

Have you looked at the Bushnell Elite 1600 Its around a $1000 i have one and I love it

Spend half the price of that rifle and you'll have 1st class optics that will last a lifetime .

Not that I can justify or afford it but you might look at the Gunwerks new scope. Revic. Has more bells and whistles than my old brain could contemplate but if it is half the scope that they say it is, WOW!!!!!

You mounted a rangefinder on your rifle ?

Scope is the most important part of your kit, otherwise you are taking chances of missing your target.
6K seems high... remember you buy one nice scope you can use it on other rifles.
Nightforce, Swarovski, and Zero Compromise are the scopes I would only buy

You are too kind. I'm getting old and don't think I can make that three hour drive again.

Contact Schmidt and Bender they will figure out a way how to solve your problem.

i shoot a howa 1500 precision chassis .308. I have a vortex viper 6-24 first focal plane. I love the glass and it's a all around great scope. I highly recommend vortex due to the customer service, the quality and its no questions asked life time warranty.

Rich I would even include shipping to your door. Just having fun
