Just bought the kids....

...a Remington 700 SPS .243 Youth model. Had to order it, so it should be here in about 2 days. I could have saved a little $$$ and bought one of them NEF break open guns, but I thought I'd get more mileage out of this one...plus I'm probably gonna shoot it a time or two myself. Now...what kinda scope should I get??? I'm thinking something in the $100-150 range. 3 x 9 x 40 most likely candidate.

Good choice. Probaly for the money I would get Simmons or Nikon(cheaper versions)

I'd go with a Nikon, what size I think depends on if you're primarily hunting fields or woods.

I hunt the thick woods mostly and don't hardly make shots over 75 yards, so I just use a cheap Redfield on a .270.

You got open sights on it?

TRY A MILLET BUCK GOLD I HAVE A COUPLE AND LOVE THEM PRICED RIGHT ALSO

[Dutch Dog]

No open sights...smooth barrel. Found this pic on-line.

Simmons or Tasco 3x9x50

[TODO]

I'd get a good scope, you'll replace the simmons or tasco in a few years. I think bushnell makes some cheaper glass that might be worth looking at

In my experience a 50mm is a little tall for kids, it was for mine anyway. That new cut out leuopold came out with on the 50mm is sweet but it has a sweet price.

I would go with a varx-1 3x9x40 and the only reason I say varx-1 is cause it is cheaper than the varix -2

[Dutch Dog]

did a little research if you will...seems as if some of the Nikon's have a little longer eye relief 3.6", which, with shorter arms (smaller child) could help out a bit. Plus helps to make sure the scope doesn't hit one of the kids when they shoot it.

a nikon prostaff will work just fine for the young uns
It falls into that price range
