Scope for long distance build

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Scope for long distance build

Posted: 4/20/2007 12:29:53 PM EDT

I'm in the process of building an AR for 200-300 yard shooting. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good quality scope in the $200-$300 range? Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I wasn't able to distinguish the difference between the 10x42 and the 10x42m. Any help?

The 10x42M is the side focus model

I have had pretty good luck with a Bushnell 3200 10X40 for a low end scope that works good. Around $200 give or take. I liked the Super Sniper I had also....

I think, after contemplation, that I want to go the adjustable magnification route. Any more suggestions for the $300 range? Thanks for all the help so far.

For a mouse gun Bushnell and tasco make some nice optics and then you can pend the rest of the money where you need it.... on AMMO

Millett Gold 4-16x50mm works good on mine.

I put this on my Savage and I love it.

You can get it at EABCO for $219.

Did you have to use the high base rings or will the mids work on the Savage?

I used high. With the Buttler Creek covers I should have used extra high.

Man, that looks exactly like what I need. What kind of rings/mount would you suggest for mounting to a flat top reciever? I'd like to be able to remove it easily, but don't want to spend more on the mount than the scope.

I used Warne rings from EABCO also. They have both the standard and removable ones.
