Rifle Scopes bsa or vortex crossfire scope

Re: bsa or vortex crossfire scope

I have to say, yes buy the Viper. BSA have not done well and we have had a number of them returned. Get the Vortex Viper.
 
Re: bsa or vortex crossfire scope

You are really making a mistake if you buy a scope that is under $300, but if you have to look at the Elite 3200 10x or maybe a Primary Arms 4-16X44. Both scopes sell for around $150. I have seen the Elite 3200 and it was ok but I would rather spend more and get something better. The Primary Arms looks interesting and it has 80 MOA of elevation, locking knobs, and good CS. I wouldn’t recommend either scope, and a Viper seems like a better idea but both scopes are probably better then either scope you listed.

I'll recommend you save more money and keep a look out @ the fs section here.

Re: bsa or vortex crossfire scope

+2.
BSA= complete junk. The number of people I see trying to save money by buying BSA always regard it.

I saw Vortex crossfires on closeout for dirt cheap at SWFA before...

Re: bsa or vortex crossfire scope

I got the Vortex from SWFA for 99$ last year for my .22LR Savage MK2.

Comparing it to other ~100$ optics I have seen and looked through I was completely amazed by the price versus quality. It's worlds apart from the 'higher end' Tasco's and BSA and scopes in that range.

I'm not sure if it was a promotional price or what but if they are still available I would jump on it.
 
Re: bsa or vortex crossfire scope

I picked up one of the vipers on closeout for 250 and it is a very good scope. It is far better than the crossfire and diamond back that I have. Looking back on it I should have bought 2.
 
Re: bsa or vortex crossfire scope

in your price range, this... http://swfa.com/Vortex-3-9x40-Viper-Rifle-Scope-P48850.aspx

vortex viper over the bsa by far....NOT even close. For $99, you are getting a hell of alot of scope with a lifetime no questions asked warranty. I bought one from swfa for my .22 and it's incredible. http://swfa.com/Vortex-6-24x50-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P43585.aspx


Another option is the 2-7x32 vortex vipers on sale at swfa for $169. Again, incredible scope for next to nothing. http://swfa.com/Vortex-2-7x32-Viper-Rifle-Scope-P10818.aspx

If you want more magnification, spend 50 more and you get something like this.... http://swfa.com/Vortex-25-10x44-Viper-HS-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P48288.aspx

that2.5-10 is an outstanding scope for a very very good price
