Hey /pol/, what's your opinion on good optics?

I have a 7mm-08 that's had iron sights for years and I really need some kind of optics for hunting season.

What's your opinion on Leupold vs Meopta? I hear that Nikon kinda sucks. I'm looking for a 4-10x or so zoom.

I really just don't want to end up with bad optics, it'll be a distraction.

He brought bad optics to the Trump administration with his nazi larper type shit. I'm glad he's gone, just a huge distraction like Flynn.

What kind of optics would Steve Bannon prefer? I feel like he's probably a Swarovski guy. Fine taste

trackingpoint is such a meme. I just need a scope for my deer gun, I doubt I'll shoot anything over 200 yards.

also nice double triple

I would go with the vortex then. It allows greater precision by creating a spiral of meme magic around your target.

We need to move away from the far right. Bannon was a liability due to his past.

Ooh, they're getting advanced.

>>34901279
Nikon Monarch is pretty good for the money, but not much below that level. Meopta good but pricey. Zeiss Terra is their best value scope. Quigley-Ford out of Canada will make a custom scope for your rifle/load for under $1K. Go 50mm objective, if you can....bigger FOV, better light gathering. Bannon = Bushnell at this point.

why are they so cheap? a 4-12x is $170. I have a Nikon 4x fixed that cost more than that for my AR.

I've got a budget of like $600. I want quality optics. No huge distractions for me.

Leupold and Vortex are pretty solid choices for optics these days. Leupold has arguably better glass; but Vortex has an awesome lifetime warranty on all of their stuff, even is you buy one second hand. That could come in handy if you ever damage your optic while out on a hunt.

You really can't go wrong with either one.

in all srsness why are vortex scopes so inexpensive? I'm a bit bewildered comparing them to the major brands. Is it made in china bullshit or something?

>>34901472
They're made in the Philippines.

You can still find clearance Leupold VX6 scopes around online if you're not picky about reticles. I got a 2-12x illuminated ones for $800 shipped off eurooptic a few weeks ago. You can find non illuminated ones under $700. Stellar deal.

>>34901279
I have a leupold 3x9 "mark AR"
aside from being a mil reticle/moa knob scope, it's pretty good, and a good price.

>>34901283
Just looked this up. Holy fuck do want.
>>
>>34901472
Some of their stuff is Chinese. Some Japan, some others. Depends on the model and the range. They're no swaro, but a good value for sure. If I lost all my Swarovski, Nightforce, and Kowa stuff and insurance didn't replace th3m, if probably just buy a bunch of Vortex and be done with it.

Does Minox make good optics?

Won a Savage .300 win rifle, what optic should I get?
>>
>>34902923

That's what we're here for.

>>34904480

IMO, there's no "wrong" option. Depends on your budget and what your personal preferences are. hard truth is that it's a bitch basic savage rifle and there's no need for you to have some crazy spec ops four figure glass on it. You'd likely be okay with something in the $100 range or less for the amount of time you'll likely shoot it.

Case point: my fudd uncle has had a basic bitch 3x9 Tasco since the 1980's and to this day he manages to get every deer tag every season with an entry level savage .270 bolt he bought at the same time as the scope.

The closest range to me only has 600 yard targets, what would be a decent optic magnification? for that range?

This. Picked up an illuminated VX-6 1-6 for $750 and its an excellent optic, super clear glass and great fov
