I'll be honest, I know $100 is not a lot for a scope, but I just want kind of a starter scope for my PTR, something that I could upgrade at a later point. What're your thoughts /k/?

Don't buy a scope until you can afford a scope.

This. You'll only regret purchasing the shit scope once you realise it won't keep a zero and the clarity sucks. Get some mbus irons in the meantime (if your mounting to an ar)

His question was answered, you shouldn't spend money on shit glass as some sort of "starter" excuse. Get something decent, buy once cry once etc etc. Tripfagging should be shunned at all times though.

>>
>>33287363
Low quality glass, poor light transmission, inferior build quality, turrets are probably fucking gritty and shitty to turn.

Save yourself up to about $300, hang up, and try again.

Buy a Fero Z-24. It's the scope they issued to designated marksmen in the bundeswehr to put on their G3s. Manufactured by Hensoldt-Wetzlar with Zeiss glass. You can find them being sold by German surplus stores on ebay, last I looked a cheap one which showed signs of wear was around $400-500, like new condition will set you back closer to $900.
>>
>>33287363
It's basic. The scope might be ok, but unless you're looking for a bottom of the barrel build, it will not be satisfactory.
>>
>>33287343
I have a camo Buckmaster on my .444. It's not terrible.
>>
>>33287385
They are not $400 worth of scope anymore. Cool collector item with authentic bonus points, absolutely, but the claw mount is obsolete dicks and the BW do not issue the Z-24 regularly to line units, and haven't since the early 2000's.

>>
>>33287416
It's not fancy but it's a total waste of money if you're not trying to go for complete originality.

Those Z-24's were hot good deals back when they were $200-$250 with the claw mount, you could just sell the claw for $150 and get a better mount like a B&T + ARMS mount.

I'm going to be honest OP, $100 will get you dick. You might as well throw that $100 down the fucking drain. Especially with the PTR's tendency throw zero off cheap scopes

>what's the cheapest scope I should get?
Vortex Strike Eagle. About $300, decent glass, nice reticule, great warranty. Also plan on dropping another $30 on decent rings for whatever you get. $80 if you want a one piece mount.

There isn't. Save your money and get a good scope. Buy a Swarovski, and you'll never need another scope again.

Are you that hung up that you insist on using a unique identifier in a place where pseudo-anonymity for each post is the undisputed norm? You're flailing around calling me the bad guy when you need to reflect on what you're doing as the root cause.

"How could I have approached the situation better?"
"What's the best way to enter a social situation without making myself immediately come off as a colossal attention seeking faggot?"

Why do you insist on being a special snowflake? Do you know where you are? Go away, take your projection and insecurity to somewhere that has moderators to shield you from internet meanie heads.

>>
>>33287705
I mean they're not the best thing ever by a long shot, but for what you're spending they're impossible to beat.

If you've got the money to spend on a top dollar optic, go for it. But if you're on a budget there is literally nothing wrong with Vortex. Especially given warranty. You can abuse the fuck out of your optic and they'll take it back no questions asked.
>>
>>33287834

This, and since you obviously can't afford ammo and thus won't break it you can later put it on a .22lr when you actually buy a big boy scope.

Aside from the exchange that started after the first fag pointed out my fagginess, what have I posted that was cringe-worthy?

Sub $100 get a UTG big buster. It will hold zero with a 308. The next step up is a prism scope.

Remember the fact that you need a compact scope for the charging handle clearance. I have a Nikon 3-9 on my PTR and it was shit. Now I have a 5x primary arms prism optic.

Wow somehow your post was less faggy than every other post you made. I can't figure out why.

Had a Nikon, not have.

Don't get a regular length scope. Either go prism, red dot, compact or 1-4.
>>
>>33288144
>Either go prism, red dot, compact or 1-4
It's like you like the most unaesthetic optic possible. If you've got to go with a red dot at least get an Aimpoint Pro. It looks okay.

>>33287260
There are none for that price that can be expected to hold zero on a battle rifle

>>33287363
Literally nothing unless youre precision or long distance shooting.

What happened to the Nikon? I just sent a p-308 in for warranty. Would not keep zero at ALL. Windage knob also fell off after retention screw came loose.

I could paint it kryptic or with a Gucci scheme if that helps you. It's a 5x optic on a br. It hold zero and doesn't break my knuckles.


>>33288210
It worked great except for clearance. If I pulled the charging handle back with an open palm it was for me but no HK slap. It got sold. I love Nikon scopes though.

Huge fag
Harassing a tripfag

>It's why I come here.

Also, how much do you like the 5x? I've been thinking about getting one.
>>
>>33288377
I really like it. The Zeiss optics were 1.5-6, the Hensoldt optics were 4x. There is logic behind the low power optic choice. Plus having a small optic fits the rifle well. I find the rotary sights feeling like they sit low causing me to push my cheek into the stock. Follow-up shots were a bitch... Maybe I have a fat face. Either way the optic is clear, works and fits.

I have a 2.5 on my AR and love the hell out of it too.
>>
>>33287260
Buy a used scope that's worth $300 brand new or don't buy one at all.
