Best Scope for 100-200 Treestand Hunts.

[ANDREW RICKETTS]

I am trying to get peoples opinions on the best scope for the above situation.

I put 100-200, however I have the possibility of a 300 yard shot in the hunting property where I would use this rifle.

Note: I do tend to be pulled towards Leupold brand, I am weirdly a "brand specific" person.

Thanks, let me know.

Vx3hd with the larger objective lense is where I'd start if you're a leupold fan. Don't need a whole lot magnification for those ranges and they let in a pretty good amount of light for dusk and dawn shots. You're budget would help us a whole lot though.

VXii 2x7, best hunting scope out there in my opinion

 

[gr8fuldoug]

a 2-7, 1-6, 2-10. What price range do you want to stay in? What type of reticle do you like?

VX5 with fire dot. Cant shoot what you don't see.

What condition are your eyes in? If you are young with no vision issues any 3-9 variable will suffice. For years my go to scope was a straight 6x. As my eyes age I've moved to a 4-15 Nikon.

A 2 x 8 or straight power scope, and keep the power down. The higher the powder the smaller the view. I use 2 x 8's out to 500yds with not problem. Field of view is.

6x42 Leupold FXII

Anyone tried out the burris eliminator 4 at all and if so whats your thoughts

I hunt similar distances, sometimes a little longer, and use VX6 3-18x50 Firedot. Great light performance. I like the magnification bc I don't always have time to pick up the binos to judge a deer. I also strongly suggest you check out Meopta Optika6 in the same configuration. I have one of those on my son's gun (I handed both to him and told him to pick) and it is 99% as good as the VX6 to my eyes, for about 1/2 the price.

At those distances....how about Iron sights and save the money?

Why not a bow? Why not a spear? Why hunt at all when humanely slaughtered and professionally butchered meat can be bought at Wal Mart for $5/lb? Why not just sit back, take the dole, and not work for a living while you're at it?

Since he asked about a scope. Leupold VX3-HD 3.5-10x30 with the FireDot. Only reason I don't say the 2.5-8 is because that only comes in a standard duplex. You don't want too much magnification to limit field of view that close in.
