Any suggestions for a sub $300 scope for low-light hunting? Magnum level recoil.

Bushnell Elite 3200 with the Firefly reticle. Probabaly get one for around $200.00 on Ebay.

Burris Fullfield II. Amazing low light clarity. Forever warranty. Can be had for $200 or less if you look. Important thing is the objective lens size...if you want to be able to see in low light conditions you need at least a 40mm objective lens IMHO.

4-12 worth the extra zoom? A lot of my shots are 150-300 yards

A Leupold V-X 1 is great for that money. A 3-9 x 40 is around $230 and a 3-9 x 50 is around $299. I have one in 40mm and it works great.

At 300 yards it might be worth the extra zoom. I hunt with mine on 4 power and shoot my deer within 50 yards so I haven't needed much zoom but if you like hunting open areas there is no downside to the 4-12 except price.

3-9x40 Leupold Var-X II
$299 or less

9 power is plenty of scope for 300 yards.

How about the newly released Redfield 3-9 x 50? 95% light transmission for around $200. Made in USA

Anyone have one?

Check out Ebay.... I just got the Monarch Gold new from ebay for 380... Thats is a lot cheaper than 600 its going in other places.

I have to agree with the Elite on a budget or not they are excellant scopes. As far as holding up to mag recoil... the one on my 300 Wby has yet to move in 10 years.

My 3200 Elite is brighter than some of my Leo's.

Good to see that Leupold is bringing back the Redfield scopes. My dad has two of the widefields from back in the 70's. Both guns are .308 Winnys, a 760 and a 700. I love looking through those widefield scopes. I just hope the quality is the same as the older models. Seeing they are being made by Leuopold I think they just might be. Time will tell.

Wow, I can`t wait to see the new Redfields!! Weren`t the foreign made for a little while?
