it seems that there is no end to the technology they can cram into a riflescope. i want to put a schmidt and bender pm II on my new custom rifle...lets see how the wife feels about that...

Blah..I don't know still doesn't overly impress me.

anything under $100 ?

the blaser r8 looks like a nice rifle...better start saving my pennies and dimes

Wait, I'm a bit confused, does the Savage shoot better with or without the fluting and muzzle break, Im gonna say with, but I wanna make sure. I got the Model 11FCNS in .204, helluva gun

Bravo for the Zeiss Conquest! A decent scope for a decent price. You would think scopes would be like electronics... growing in function and shrinking in price year after year. It would be good to forget any scope over $500 and start reviewing scopes in the $200-$500 range to see who has the top quality and how they compare. Some of them may actually be close to matching the expensive scopes for half the price. If that is anywhere near the case, it would be news worth hearing about.

Dave, I was hoping that you would mention Blaser rifles. I own 3 of them and bought my first one back in the 80's. They are so superior in every way to other rifles that there is no comparison. Truly 21st century guns! I have hunted with many other rifles over my long life(I am 76)and liked most of 'em,but the Blaser is the only one that I now use. I could make this a very long letter extolling their virtues.Your photo is of one of the high grades, but plain vanilla models can also be had. All mine were one hole shooters right out of the box. Yes, they are not cheap, but worth every penny!

Just give me a new T/C Icon Super with Nikon scope and the $ to go west and i will bring back the meat.

I think the savage will be the best buy. I have a 3x9 x 40 Ziess to put on it and can tell you everything they say about it is true

It might be intended for African hunting, but that 1x4 power Nikon scope wouldn't look bad on a lever action .30-30, either. Close-in, quick shots are where a Model 94 or 336 lives, and this scope dialed down to 1x can only help. Price is good, too.

pretty sweet

Dave,

Is that Zeiss any better than the $299, Bushnell 4200 in 3 X 9?

I bought a Simmons 6.5 X 20 X 50 True-plex a couple of weeks ago, put it on a Rem. 788 .223, shot 5 rounds into "one" hole @ 100yds, now I ask you..... why spend the kind of money that S&B wants for theirs, when I can shoot like this? I bought it for $ 109.00, on sale, originally $ 255.00. Will the S&B make the hole{s} smaller than it already is??

I would put my Blaser up against any other make of rifle out there...and I have the R84 with 4 barrels.

yeah yeah yeah whatev. i can kill just as many game with my rem700 and not care much if the synthetic stock got scratched up because my nicer wood stock is safe in my gun cabinet lol

I shot my share of game with a cheap Rem.770/270 and only paid 300.00
