I have been studying for a few days now on new glass for my '06. I finally settled on a fixed 10X. I am thinking the Super Sniper, but wanted to ask first. Is there anything else comparable that I should look into? Sorry for the my first post being what it is, but the optics world has changed a lot in 15 years. It is kinda overwhelming.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
SS HD 10x is a fine choice if you can afford it. If not, then the standard one works great too.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
Yeah, I am thinking the $300 10X. I figured I would not be happy with my first scope, no matter what I bought. If I do decide later that I am serious about shooting LR, I will drop big money. Is that logic flawed?

Bushnell 10x with mildot reticle and mil adjustments usually gets favorable reviews. It's currently on sale at Midway for $200:

Re: Fixed 10X ?
For the money, I don't know of a better scope than the SS 10x. You think you won't be happy with it, but you might be surprised.
They track well, have decent glass, a well proportioned reticle, and loads of elevation travel. The one I have has 130+ MOA. Unlike the Bushnell they have parallax adjustment, which makes it more versatile overall.

That looks like it may fit the bill perfect. And to top it off, its mil/mil.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
+1 on the Mil/Mil Bushnell 10x have one on my 223 ar. It's on par with the SS I think.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
I put the Bushnell on my wife's 223 SPS Tactical. It is a great scope for the money.
A SS scope is on my short list but no personal experience other than reading a lot of rave reviews.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
The Bushnell 10x Mil/Mil is an excellent choice.
Clear, accurate and cost effective.
I own and use top end glass. The Bushnell 10x does not make be feel like I am using a cheap scope.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
I own Bushnell 10x mil/mil as well, worth every penny. It can be improved by a) adding parallax focus, and b) make the turret 5 mil per turn, not current 4 mil/turn.
I also have Weaver Tactical 3-10x mil/mil ($300 from MidwayUSA). It's Second Focal Plane though, but you can use it as a fixed 10x mil/mil with extra tricks. The turret on it is 5 mil/turn.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
All three scopes are good. They each have good and bad points. I have both the Weaver and Swfa. Sold my swfa 10xHD and keep the standard swfa 10x so I would have 2 308s with the same optic. The bushnell seams to be not as well built as the other two, but the glass was good on the one I had. Go with what you like. The resale will be better on the weaver and swfa when you upgrade.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
Glass is pretty good on my bushy 10x mil/mil
It was either that or the SS10x and I decided to go with the bushy just because of mil/mil. I know the SS10xHD is mil/mil, but its not in the price range of the SS10x and bushy.

Re: Fixed 10X ?
I had both the Bushnell and the SS10X. The Bushnell is what it is. A good $200 scope with good glass. The SS10X is what it is too. It's a good $300 scope. If I had to choose between the two, it would be the SS. I thought is was worth an extra $100 due to the turrets.

I have handled both. What was it about the SS turrets that makes you feel they are worth an extra $100?
I don't own a SS10x, but that is because every one I handled left me with a "blah" kind of impression. The Bushnell 10X had better feeling turrets and a cleaner image.
