Thread: Saving pennies to buy a scope $1500~$2000

what rifle are you putting this scope onto ? IMHO spending money on a barrel is significantly better investment for FTR than a scope. then invest in decent (lapua) brass and projectiles as well as measuring equipment for reloading. scope is about the last thing I would spend money on...

there are several budget option scopes that would get you pretty competitive IF you have a decent barrel and good bedding, and the shooter does their part.

Nikko Stirling Target Master 6-24 or 8-32 both perfectly fine
Weaver T-series fixed, either 24 or 36 power
Clearidge XP5 4.5-22.5
