Rifle Scopes Scope for SAKO Finnlight hunting rifle

[kujuak]

My backup hunting rifle is a SAKO Finnlight 300WinMag. 1st string is a15y.o. Remington Custom Showp AWR , same caliber with Swarovski scope FFP/TDS reticle. The SAKO has a Leupold 4.5x14 with Boone&Crocket reticle. I hate the Leupold, B&C only works at 14x, not practical for real world hunting. Suggestions???I'd like 30mm tube, FFP scope. 10x is plenty of magnification. I like my SKMR3 reticle and my old TDS has worked really well with success out to 600yds on a moose.

Thanks!

If you are going to spend a lot of money, the Vortex 6-24 AMG might be a good fit. Another option could be the March 2.5-25 in either the 42mm or 52mm versions; I know a few guys who rave about March scopes for their hunting rifles because of how light-weight they are.

Check out the bushnell lrhs 3-12x

If you can do without FFP the Nightforce 2.5-10x42 is perfect for your rifle. IMO you don't need FFP in a 10x hunting scope

I had the Sako 85 in 30-06 with a Swaro Z6, Gave the rifle to my brother without the optic. Still have the scare above my right eye. Shooting out of a tree in a bad position holding the rifle like a girl. Recoil from hell.

Before you jump into the ffp For hunting. Realize it's easier to scale the b&c reticle for 10x then to use a thin ffp reticle for a quick shot in shaded timber or low light conditions. I had a FFP 4-16 atacr and tried it on my hunting rifle but the reticle was very thin and hard to see at 4x during during huntin conditions. I might replace it with a SFP ATACR, but deer camp starts in 2 weeks and a vx6 is mounted and ready. In my area, the PNW, I'll stick to the sfp.

Something to consider anyways. Good luck.

The SFP ATACR 4-16x50 is a great option for hunters, we'd be happy to discuss various options at 916.670.1103

I have Bushnell lrhs 3-12 on both my hunting rifles. Imho it is a great choice, for me 12x is plenty of power for shooting in field conditions.
A sfp scope in 14-16 power can be tough to use in many hunting situations.

March is you can swing the $. Bushy 3-12 if you can't. Nighforce 4-16x42 is another great option but not really that lightweight.

Weaver tactical 3.5x15 great scope, and in FFP you can use the lit reticle to easily see in the woods.

This is what I have and am liking it thus far

How about an FFP, Illuminated, Mil/Mil, side focus, 3-12x42mm for under $800.
