scope suggestion??

widowmaker1 · Sep 24, 2014

Need help picking a scope for my new 300 win mag. I've decided between 3. Redfield revolution 4-12x42, Burris fullfield 2 4.5-14x42, and vortex crossfire 2 4-12x44. All 1" tubes. I would like to hear feedback from others that have these scopes. Thanks!

All the scopes you mentioned are made in China or Phillipens and are low quality. Since you are shooting a 300 win and it does have some recoil buy a higher quality scope that can take recoil and stay sighted in. If you want a Vortex I would buy an better Vortex and get a demo from Camera Land that advertises on here, they have some real good deals going on.

nevadahunter has a point the 300 mag has some recoil !! I had a Simmons Apex on my 300 win mag lasted just over a year blew the reticle out of it !! Now after hosing myself & buying 2 scopes I could have originally bought a $700 scope !!! So the minimal difference in costs compared to the quality of scope u get if it were me I would spend the Xtra bucks .. I just saw on Camera lands sight they have a good deal on a Vortex 6-24 for around $330 good luck

That's the one I got. It's a great scope, I could have bought two I would have.

should be a great scope & I a pretty sure Vortex has a Killer warranty as well

As others have said, go as best as you can. German is better but higher end Vortex, Nikon, Redfield, Burris, or Leupold will be solid as well.

I have started to go German on my glass little by little, upgrading from Vortex. There is a difference!

Nevadahunter the Redfield revolution is made at the leupold factory in Oregon!! The Redfield revenge is made overseas. I Have a revolution 3x9 & it is a great scope!!

I looked around and found a 3.5x10x44 Rapid-600 Zeiss for $600.
Had been looking to upgrade from bottom end Leup. Deals can be found.
