i was looking on midway usa for a scope for my new 25-06,came across 2 around my price range, a bushnell banner 6-18x50mm,and a simmons whitetail 6.5-20x50mm both are the same price which is the better buy in your opinion will be using the scope for hunting,and the whitetail is a milldot reticle
 
Re: scope options

I could be wrong about this, but I'm not sure if anyone on here would actually use either one of those scopes. They may be a lil too low on the totem pole for anyone here. I'm into the "budgety" stuff and I wouldn't buy either of those. But, I could be completely out of line in saying that.
 
Re: scope options

What rifle are you putting this on, and what is your budget? Although a lot of people on here, including myself, are going to point you towards higher end optics, your budget will dictate what you can get. Also, what is the purpose of the rifle? Are you using it for shorter range (400yds or closer) hunting, longer range, competition, etc.?
 
Re: scope options

May I suggest a Minox? They make really good general hunting scopes for thier price tag. I think they have a series in the $200-350 range. Other than that IMO Weaver would be best. If'n yer gonna have to shoot crummy glass, atleast have crummy glass that will hold zero, like, forever... However, I am partial to Weavers... For that exact reason.
