Best deer scope

[Panhandlin Pat]

Always ran leupold, but the last few scopes I've bought were Maven. I love mavens products and their customer service. RS2 on an ultra light rifle. Rs1 on my 300 win mag.

I really like the Maven Ultralight 2-10 scope. Especially if weight is a concern.

Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 FTW!

I have killed deer with it after my father could no longer see in his Leupold and Nikon scopes.

For the Northern Maine woods I'd strongly consider the NF 2.5x10x42 NXS. Compact, light, with outstanding reliability and clarity. $1600 new.

Yes Scott !!! That is really Great, I am confident 8.5 X to 25 X will be great at the medium and longer ranges I expect to shoot in N Carolina. I meant that that particular scope is way too much for my usual 100 Yard deer shooting in West Virginia. T he 2.5X to 8X is adequate for that. Now that they make VX 5 ,in 3 X to 15X would have been incredible. Perhaps Santa is reading these posts and he knows what I would like. Ima Ground Blind Hunter as well , and I always use a Caldwell Tripod, or a Bog Death Grip Carbon, in the Blind!!!The outfitter said they will set up a Ground Blind for me along the Bean Filed in North Carolina this year. Last year the put me in the "OLD MAN Elevated Box Blind " cause I was afraid to climb up a tree in the dark. The plan was to get me out of the Old Man blind about 10 am the put me a much better blind, but an 11 point buck came up the trail and my hunt was over a 7;45AM .The 270 Win did its job taking the Buck at a Whopping 30 Yards . Good luck to you this season Buddy!!!!

Old man blind….maybe common sense blind….tree climbing in the dark is never fun, part of the reason I still hunt

I hunt NH, and VT (probably ME next year) and am having a Remington 760 rebored to 35 Whelen for use as a timber gun. I was looking at a bunch of scopes and just decided less is more in my case. In poking around I honestly think my best option is also the cheapest option….VX Freedom 1.5-4.5 with the MOA ring reticle. Looks awesome for shots on game running at close range. Not bad for 299 with a lifetime warranty!
