advice on scopes.
Hi
I'm looking for a scope for my 243.
I need to decide between the following at R4000 - R4200
1.Burris Fullfield II 4.5-14x42
2.Lynx 4-16x42
3.Nikon fieldmaster 6-18x40
Or for R400 more
Nikon monarch 4-16x42 (previous model not monarch 3)
Any advice would be welcome.
Regards
Gary

Re: advice on scopes.
Ek het nie enige ondervinding van die ander opsies nie, maar sal ook sê Burris. As jy paar rand meer kan afknyp, sal ek selfs kyk na die 6.5-20x50 waarmee jy ook lekker sal kan teiken skiet.Arnold wrote:My vote goes to Burris.

Ek het op 'n stadium my 6-24 Lynx verkoop want my 4.5-14 Burris was baie duideliker en ek sal geld daarop sit dat hy duideliker as daai Nikon ook is.

Re: advice on scopes.
I agree with Arnold and Eugene on this one
I have a 3-12x 56 burris and had a 6-20 x50 burris. In my opinion one of the better value for money scopes out there in their price range.

Re: advice on scopes.
So many people so many opinions. Get hold of all the scopes you mentioned, aim through them and buy the one you prefer.

Re: advice on scopes.
I have had all three scopes on different rifles and can honestly say that the Burris beats them all hands down. Rather pay the little bit extra for the 6.5x20. You get the MV reticle in this model.
At 16x I can see. 243 holes at 300m when I shoot on plain paper that as no lines etc. I have often shot groups with my Rudolph on my 243 and can't see the holes even at 24x, and take my 300Win mag and use it as a spotting rifle to confirm shot placement with my 243.
As for after sales I can't comment cause I have never needed to use it
