Re: Budget For $300.--$400. Rifle Scope
I have spent most of my money on such optics........I have a few higher class ones, but I have too many guns to spring for high end glass on them all.....
the absolute best in my opinion for targets and range work is the buckmaster 4-14. MIl-dot, side forcus, decent turrets. Repeatable, excellent clarity. The only downsides are the fov is a bit small at high magnification and their isn't a ton of elevation travel---I can get my 22lr trainer to 250yrds with a 20moa base and 50yrd zero but that is about max. For me, these issues don't matter on my range/paper punching/shorter distance rigs so I have several of the buckmasters.
here's my list
weaver targets or grand slams
nikon buckmaster (my fav)
super sniper 10x
bushnell 10x
any of bushnell 4200 line
