Thread: "Ranger" Scopes?

might clarify my reason for questioning these scopes.

I want a budget Gun- i have a budget and im not going to 'lash' out too far from it...

the gun price without Scope is cool, but these Combo packages are a dime-a-dozen, the influencers behind the stand are always wanting to head you over to the Combo side of the package and try to break it down..

With the Big Sale on tomorrow i ducked in too see where the prices might sit with the sale on, got discussing and ended up haven a gander at the packaged rifles scoped.....

bloke was sayin the Rangers are on par with the Leupolds up to a fairly high price and he gave his thumbs up to the Ranger as being good enough with no problem on it..

to me , it didnt look as good from the outside and was ok from the inside--
the scoop is with the Rings and Scope its like an Extra $200 for the Combo---- as opposed to the Bare rifle on bargain price to then Buy mounts to put my Zeiss terra on it, im potentially lookin at the same sort of Pricing-
the cheap Weaver mounts i was shown, looked the same as the ones that came on my Marlin X7 in which the previous owner threaded the shit out of to the point of No use...

so im thinkin i'll need to spend $100-$150 on Weaver style ring setup......... before putting my scope on- so we're again at the budget limit.


only flip side to the combo is potentially having a 'backup scope' for when i tumble down a slip/scree chute fairly soon

apart from that im not seeing the Combo package as the way to go...
