    Scope recommendations

    Ok guys I’m getting ready for Black Friday and I’m looking for scope recommendations for my yeti build. Realistically won’t be shooting past 300 yds. My experience with scopes is vortex diamondback and a primary arms scope. I dig my primary arms scope but kinda want to try something different. Open to anything, looking to stay under $400

    Before you buy primary arms anything.... send them proof of service and enjoy a nice discount.....

    That’s the first thing I did when I started my first build! Every penny helps. Leaning towards their 1-8x24 scopes

    Try looking at BSA. Good scopes for decent prices. I got a 1000yrd scope for my 308 for less than $100.

    A possibility could be a Nikon. I believe that they are as good,if not better than a Primary Arms.
    If you use the "Spot On" program with one of their BDC scopes it will give you the info to put the bullet on target at different ranges.
    If that type of scopes reticle is too "busy" for you,take a look at Redfield/Leupold for a scope that has just a couple of tic marks below center.
    I just got a Redfield 2-7X33 Accurange for a 300BLK and it has the reticle that is simple,yet informative for 300BLK supers only.
    Remember that you have the "JBM Calculations (Trajectory)" program on line also. ---- SAWMAN

    I’ll have to go to Cabelas to look around. Anyone have experience with Cabelas brand scopes? I may or may not get 45% off cabelas/bass pro name brands

    Nikon Monarch is an excellent scope. Good bang for the buck. There’s been a lot of good sales on them lately. The Cabelas euro scopes ( made by meopta ) are nice scopes, but the rest of the Cabelas line of scopes have not impressed me much.

    Sawman is dead on. BDC scopes when dialed in using Spot On Ballistic Program are very accurate. Obviously, the data you enter has to be correct which means getting your load chronographed and not believing what is on the box, measuring your scope height and entering environmental factors too. Some of my friends and I have blown up soda cans and 4-inch jars of tannerite at 600+ yards using Nikon's BDC scopes and Spot On. A scope suggestion for a black Friday purchase might be Nikon's new M-Tactical 3-12x42 SF MOA reticle. You can dial your distance or get the drops from Spot On. I have been doing freelance work with Nikon for almost 10 years now and it seems like this scope is one of the option's you guys have been asking for for a long time. Dialing in your handloads for holdovers is also quick and easy. I don't do any sales, just here to answer any question's or help you guys out if needed. Thanks!

    I’ve always had good luck with Nikon and Leupold. All my scopes now seem to be Nikon except for the Leupold on my Ruger 450 Bushmaster. I love the Spot On app because as someone said it just works.
