For hunting in PA that will be mounted on a .223 bolt action Savage. Want something good but under 300. And what's the opinion on this?

My go to budget scope is the good old Nikon Monarch.  IIRC my last 3-9 was +/- 300 but it's been a couple years.

Thats a good scope but you don't want a fixed 10x for hunting.

How about a 2-8? Still looking heavily but need pointed in the right direction.

I got the Nikoplex reticle, I never trusted the BDC just due to bullet weight and barrel length variables.  A lot of stores have them for 5-10% under MSRP, I have seen a couple camera shops that will order them in at low mark up also.

For $50 more than your budget this is a killed deal.










Look through their demo and open box list too.

Would keep a eye on the SWFA samplelist, have snagged a couple Leupold 3.5X10s in that range.

I like your train of thought! A great scope for your use would be Nikon's M-223 3-12 BDC 600/Rapid Action Turret. This scope is currently under a Promo by Nikon and $60 off. I use Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program to really dial in my rifle,scope and ammo for excellent longrange accuracy. Even with the $60 off this scope is still $39 over your suggested budget but defintely one worth taking a look at, IMHO.
I do some freelance PR/Shooting Event's for Nikon and I assure you, after literally 10's of thousands of rounds sent downrange the 2 scope's I used never had any problem's at all. One currently sit's on a 30 year old Savage heavy barrel single shot and the other on a DPMS Sweet 16.  The Savage has been to S. Dakota 3 times with friend's Prairie Dog hunting and nothing but rave reviews.

I don't do any sales at all, so if you're interested in this scope I'd suggest you take a look at some of this site's Sponsor's for assistance.

Drop me a note if you have any question's.

This based on your budget. Anywhere but Dicks. Amazon on the 15th during their big Prime sale. Did I mention fuck Dicks?

IMO this is the best deal going right now that comes in under $500.

It is marked down significantly right now and the zoom range is a good fit for a hunting optic.
