    I have 3 and soon to be 5, Riton Optics Red Dot scopes. I have had zero issues with them and paid more than the $99 they are currently going for. I have two 1 Tactix RRD on pistol caliber carbines...

    In that price range you will have a lot of quality options. I saw one suggestion for an Optika6, solid scope for sure. Also, check out Meopta ZD 6-24X56 RD. This scope is on sale at Meopta for more...

    Truly hard to beat the value that you get in Meopta's line of scopes. In your budget there are a lot of options, byt as others have said, there is no substitue for trigger time. Take a look at...

    Your easiest and best choice is the Meopta Optika5 2-10x42. You can choose the Z-Plus reticle and you'll have drops for longer shots or just run it straight up with a 100 yard zero. The 1” tube...

    This is my favorite fixed 6 scope and it works great sitting on my Belgium Browning .308. Meopta's MeoPro 6x42. Amazing light gathering and European glass quality. As soon as I saw this scope I knew...

    The MONARCH 3 1-4 is a heck of a scope. Great MONARCH glass and as you said, able to get you on target accurately. Nikon has a new M-Tactical in 1-4x24 in MOA. I really like this scope and plan to...

    I have been using the SST's for a while in my Rem. 700 AAC rifle. They are quite accurate and I agree they hit hard. I have taken a bunch of deer with the longest 1 shot stop being just under 500...

    Your PROSTAFF 5 glass is very nice even if its the older Buckmaster line. You could definitely upgrade to a MONARCH 3 with a BDC retire and use Spot In for your holdovers or step up to a 30mm tube in...

    Not everyone can afford $400 and up for a scope so the answer to your question is yes! Nikon's PROSTAFF scope will let you get dialed in and will not let you down. The PROSTAFF scope has outstanding...
