walleyehunter80 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have a thompson center encore pro hunter with a 300 win mag barrel on it. Going to use it for mule deer, elk and moose out west. Thinking of shots 350 yards and less. Im leaning toward a nikon but not sure what I need or should have. HELP need input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerysniper Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have the Nikon BDC on my 300 win mag and like it. It has crosshairs out to 600 yards and they work great. If you looking for a regular scope I own 8 bushnell trophy's and have never had a problem with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishuhalik Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Kinda hard to make a recommendation if I don't know what you're budget is. Nikon has made big steps in quality the last few years and would be a good choice. If u wanna bump up your spending a little look at Vortex. They're a bit of a newcomer but I've heard nothing but good things. Lifetime warranty, great durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamptiger Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 These days I would go with whoever has the best warranty for the amount you have budgeted for a scope. Leopold, Nikon, Sightron have good warranties. In the el cheapo dept., I've heard Centerpoint is a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooh Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Pretty sure you can step into one of those vortex diamondbacks for under 200...I think big C has em on sale in the flyer I just got in the mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortfatguy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have a nikon buck master 4.5-12x40 BDC on my 300 WSM. I like it a lot and would recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have many scopes from less spendy to pretty good Leupold and Zeiss optics.One scope I have been very impressed with espically for the money is the Bushnell Elite series, the 3200 and 4200 scopes for the money are darn good. No, they are not as good as the $750 plus scopes but for the working man, these scopes work well.I have a 4200 on my 300 win mag and it works fine and I have shot deer out to 360 yards with it no problem at all.I would agree for the money, Nikon makes some pretty good glass.

DRH1175 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I like Zeiss, Leupold, Nikon. My new favorite for the money is Vortex though. They have a lifetime no questions asked warranty and prices are less than the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
