| what is the the best 3x9x40 first focal plane scope |

That doesn't leave a lot of options.
Something like a VX2 would work. You sniper now. |

Quoted:
some thing simple max $300 Sir, FWIW I've always been impressed by the quality of Leupold products. In the price range you specify my bet is that you should be able to find a 3X9 VX2, that will suit your needs well. I have one mounted on a 243 that I use for Va. whitetail. Very good fit. JMHO, 7zero1. |

But it's not FFP  |

for FFP and less than $300? Take a look at the Primary Arms They have a couple of 4-14x44s that are FFP for less than $300. Although the one with the illuminated reticle that I have is pretty dim in any lighted environment no matter what I setting I have it on or how new the battery is, it is clear and accurate. I don't know if they are all like that or not. |

I'm a fan of the SWFA SS, but it is 3-9X42. The price is right as well. Had a couple of the SS 10x fixed. One hell of a scope for the money, even for nearly double the price. Mine were back when they still were labeled Tasco and you could get them for $250, iirc. Etched reticle. Super clear glass. Repeatable turrets. Kind of wish I had one back. |
| Not exactly what you want (FFP) but SWFA has a Blackhawk 3-9x40 on sale for $219. I have one of the 3-15x50 FFP scopes that I got for a steal that is just a re-branded Weaver Tactical scope ($750 street price and all confirmed by Weaver customer service). I believe the 3-9 is essentially the same basic scope as the Weaver Grand Slam Tactical sold through Midway with 3-9 magnification instead of 3.5-10. It's made in Japan with Weaver's lifetime warranty. I would get that in a heartbeat. If dead set on FFP, you're best off with Primary Arms, IMO. |
