I am looking for the best sub-$600 2-4x fixed power scope for my Ruger M77 Guide Gun in .30-06. Also looking for a 1" tube, and a simple reticle. I do not need illumination.
Application is a hunting gun for mostly 100 yards and in. Any recommendations? Thanks! |

If you are price conscious, the Weaver K4 4x38.
If not, the Leupold 3x20, or 4x33 FX scopes. Not much call for a fixed power 1" tube that doesn't have bells and whistles. If you can find one, the old Burris and Nikon Fixed power scopes were very nice. ETA The Weaver packs a lot of value into the K line and I do not think that 4x33 is worth almost double the price. The 3x20 has ~4" of eye relief, so you need to take that into account. I would look at the 6x42 FX Leupold, as it is a great scope and doesn't give up much FOV over the 4x33. It has better glass and is, IMO, an all around better scope. It's approaching $400 too. |

I would vote for a good 4-6 power Weaver K series. They can be found with a little effort (Amazon) as model number 849415. This for a 4 power 38mm obj. lens.
I have hunted for almost 40 years with a Husqvarna .270 and a Weaver 6x. Current scope was put on the gun after the first one got bent when I took a fall in S. Dak. about 23 years ago. It still works perfectly, and the combo has put a lot of meat on the table. Best shot I made with this set-up was 374 paces across a draw at an antelope. I have newer, more modern guns and optics, but the Husky is the tried and true top gun in my safe. Unless you are shooting beyond 5-600 yards, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a good fixed power scope. There are a lot of used Weavers out there in excellent for decent prices as well. Amazon has the scope I mentioned for +/- $175.00 |

| Take a look at Primary Arms 2.5. It's able to range & bullet drop. |
