I would suggest saving your money until you can afford a decent one. I learned the hard way that going cheap on optics just costs you more in the long run. Better figger on 300-400 bucks at the cheapest.

Sibir Optics Inc - Yukon
20-50x50mm w/ stand 89$. www.sibiroptics.com/eng/f_catalog.htm I just need to see the target that is ALL. I have used some old school binoculars that would work fine but had to hold them. I am sure something on a stand with more power would be just fine. Its just to see holes in paper at 100-200m. |

I have this scope and it is fine to 200 yrds but that is it. It also has very short eye relief, like your eyelashes will be brushing the lens.

So a 50x50mm is good for 200yds
What will a 100x be good out to? Please any links or good brands that are on closeout or just a good price, let me know. |

eno45,
Go with that 20-50x50mm Sibr Yukon scope. I have the exact same one that I bought 2yrs ago and couldn't be happier. I bought it for the same exact reasons you did. Just get a good tripod for it because the one it comes with is absolute shit. For the money you can't go wrong. If you want to spend $300-$400 dollars on a so called "good one" then do it but if all you're using it for is what you say then you're throwing hundreds of dollars down the drain. Besides it's Russian made and goes good with an AK right? I've received several comments on my scope and when I tell people it only cost me $75 they first shit themselves and then ask where I got it so they can get one for themselves. Good Luck! |

i use a 15-45x x 60mm burris "landmark" scope. i think they are around $139. i've had this one for over a year and i'm still pleased with it.
it's no $800 kowa rig, but works well at 100 and can pick up .308 holes in the tan at 200 yards. holes in the black are nigh on impossible to see. on a good day (good lighting conditions) i can pick out .223 holes in the tan. more than simple power determines the resolution of a scope. |

I have a YUKON by SIBIR OPTICS....and I have to tell you it's the best scope out there IMO. very compact and light, the only thing is the eye relief.....but you aren't going to mounting it on your rifle so that isn't a issue. 89 bucks is the best price I have seen for these.

Well looks like I was out voted on this one. If you can see the .223 bulletholes at 200 with the Sybirs - get it. I tried one once, I think it was a sybir, it was russian I know, and I had trouble seeing the holes with it, can't exactly remember at what distance. My eyes ain't the best in the world. But, for me anyway I don't cut corners on optics.

Thanks everyone for your input, you too bulletslap. I am going to go with the yukon on Friday mourning, do you guys know who has good fast shipping? FAC has them for 89$ and so does that nightvison site you gave me. Any recommendations? If not I will just order through FAC since I got my AK from them. THanks for your help.
Hey if I don't get the tripod that comes with the scope then what should I get? Its only 20$ cheaper to get it without. Links. I am ordering Friday, save me from the crap tripod. :) |

I bought a couple scopes from nightvision and was very impressed with how fast their shipping was.

A fella I trust and respect in weapons/gear recommended the Leupold Wind River Sequoia that he could get me for 199$. He is making no profit off them and believes the 110$ difference in price is worth it if I am going to be shooting @ 200m. It will be 200m or less for the most part, the Yukon is 20-50x50mm and the Leupold is 15-45x60mm, do you really see the Leupold really making a 110$ difference?

Man, that Yukon scope is a hell of a deal if it can see .223 holes at 200yds. I'm looking for a spotting scope so I can get back into hipower shooting. I bout a cheap Simmons scope, and it completely sucks ass. And, I'm tired of bumming a scope from the guy that shoots directly before me. Anyone know if that Yukon can see .223 in the black at 200yds? Thanks!
