Ask D/S scopes
Ask D/S scopes
I have a friend who is wanting to put a tasco 3x9x40 scope on a NEF 45/70. I am telling him to spend some of his hard earned money and get a good scope. He/we hunt mostly thickets very seldom will the shot be more than 70 yards. Will it stay true or will it jump from the recoil that rifle has?
Thanks

Your rifle is only as good as what's on top of it.

Re: Ask D/S scopes
I would reccomend a Nikon, but if he wants something a little cheaper tell him to check out the weaver kaspa, $100 for a 3x9x40.
Re: Ask D/S scopes
I'd rather have a cheaper gun than a cheap scope. Good scopes for the money with a lifetime warranty...Redfield Revenge (think Leupold bought them), Nikon Prostaff or Buckmaster, Vortex Diamondback

Nikon ProStaff!!!
It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Cabela's has the Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 on sale for 169.99. I ordered one a couple of days ago.
Re: Ask D/S scopes
Got the Nikon prostaff on my 45-70 never had a problem with recoil knocking scope out of line. Not very expensive but does the job. Liked it enough to put one on my sons .243. Great little scope for the money.
Re: Ask D/S scopes
got a nikon on my .444, been happy with it
Sportsmans Warehouse has a deal on a Burris right now. Its a 3-9x50 for around $150 after rebates. Got one to replace an old redfield on the .270.

Re: Ask D/S scopes
Get a quality name brand scope. The ones mentioned above are all good. You get what you pay for. A cheap scope will let you down and you don't want to screw up on a wall hanger over a few dollars saved on a scope.

Re: Ask D/S scopes
Had a friend that had one on his 7 mag and never had problem one. That was over 20 years ago so I'm sure quality has declined.

Marks Outdoors here in bham is sellng the Nikon Buckmaster Prostaff 3x9x50 for $200. Good scope for a 45-70, I have one on mine. Jsut be sure to put good mounts on what ever scope he decides to go with

Re: Ask D/S scopes
Yes good mounts and bases are equally important. A one-piece base will be a more solid mount.duckkiller wrote:Marks Outdoors here in bham is sellng the Nikon Buckmaster Prostaff 3x9x50 for $200.

Re: Ask D/S scopes
Prostaff and buckmaster scopes are very good for the money.
