NorKelw 0 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I'm looking for a budget scope to start shooting around 100 yards, and work up to about 500 as that is the line of site I have out back. A scope recommendation, or even what numbers and magnification I should be looking for is greatly appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lllluke1 328 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I shoot up to 400 yards with a s&b 8*56. Targets start at 100 yards. 400 yard target is a 6" gong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vincej 3 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 what is your intended purpose for the scope (hunting, target shooting, precision shooting, etc?). It will determine what people will suggest. Guys at Vortex recommended Vortex Optics Spitfire Prism rifle scope, which is budget friendly scope and has more quality and features than others.

What sort of gun/calibre are you intending to shoot at the ranges you state and what sort of quarry / target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume a centrefire at those distances, so you will need some reasonable glass and reasonable engineering. I'm not sure what your definition of budget is if you intend to spend more than a Sidewinder. They are ok budget scopes, but can get a bit milky at high magnification. Magnification is very personal, 8x does me fine out to about 300-400 yards, but I know people who use 32x at 100 yards! Edited June 18, 2021 by Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rileymeredith34 0 Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I recommend Vortex Optics Viper HS- Riflescope and It highlights amplification levels somewhere in the range of 6x and 24x, offering amazing flexibility as far as its compelling reaches.
