Which 4-16 to mount on my Savage TR

[PKRobbins]

My new Savage Mark II TR will be in today. On the shelf in my man cave I have 2 scopes available:

1 - Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 SF with BDC reticle
2 - Millet 4-16x50 TRS mildot reticle, mildot turrets

Rifle is gonna be used for punching paper and the occasional undesirable varmint. Don't want to spend more money on scopes when I have 2 sitting.

No experience with the Nikon but that Millet is a pretty big scope for such a small gun. With that said, I used to have one on my Savage MKII and it worked great for it.

Nice choice with the Savage.

The nice thing about having two scopes on the shelf is that you now get to try both and let us know which one you like better and why. You know, we're going to expect pictures and some sort of comparison between the two scopes in the near future now.

i have a mueller APT on my savage
one friend had another
one has a Gen 5 Wotac
another has a centerpoint from walmart

the apt has the best glass
the wotac has the best reticle and turrets
the centerpoint isn't really that far off....suprisingly

I've got an older TRS-1 and the limited field of view really bothers me when we are shooting p-dogs. Compared to all the other scopes I have (nikon monarchs, Bushnell 4200s, even a tasco), I dislike this the most.

Vortex 6-24x50 from SWFA for $99. I like it so far.

Personally I'd use the mil dot target turrets!!

Check on the MOA of adjustment on the Monarch...Mine is pretty limited (the Buckmaster Mil-dot has more adjustable MOA than the Monarch). I had a 15 MOA base made for one of my hunting Savages so I could max out the Monarch, and still hit zero at 100 yards.....
