Scope help

[Maude]

I'm in the market for a new scope for a Sako A7 in 270. This is a whitetail rig and I'd like to shoot out to 300yards. I'd like to keep the cost under $1200. Any suggestions? I really like the Swarovski Z5 2.4-12 BT.

Buy the Swaro Z3 in the classifieds here. Out to 300 yards on a hunting rig, that is plenty of scope.

And Anthony is a good guy to work with

300 yards is not that far, all things considered. Any quality scope with quality glass in 3-9x40 will do that all day long. Quality rings/bases and bench time practicing at that distance is just as important, if not more.

And Anthony will be heading this direction tomorrow. Can't really beat the deal he has on that scope.

If you miss out on the swaro., I just bought the Vortex Viper 6-24x50 HST. It has the turrets and 30 mm tube. I mounted it on my browning Abolt 300 wm and tested it out to 300 yds. The extra magnification is nice at the distance especially when you are trying to hold 1 MOA my minimum for a self imposed limit. They run around $800 and the glass is top shelf.

The Meopta Meopro 3-9X40 for $350 from Sportoptics is probably the best value in rifle scopes and is plenty of glass for hunting out to 5-600 yards or more if you're practiced.
