Hello!
I'd like to spend around $150 for a fixed 4x scope. I will be deer hunting in Western Oregon forest. So, with this in mind, please recommend a brand and model for me. I have the mount taken care of; if I have to spend more than $200 to get a "good" scope it will have to wait until next year. Thanks for you input! Mike |

I am in the same boat as you Mike. Someone recommended this scope to me and It is probably what I will buy. SWFA has a good price on it also.

Another scope that uses good glass and has a good reputation here is the http://www.swfa.com/pc-10607-1514-sightron-4x32-sii-riflescope.aspx. For a $175 it is going to be solid and durable.

looks like it on the swfa web site may have to call them or talk to cfII or brady to confirm it

If you are hunting in the coastal range, I would recommend you take a look at a low power variable. a 1.25-4. I spent some time up there hiking and shooting last summer, and the undergrowth seemed very dense, and I wonder if a fixed 4x would be too much in some scenarios.
What type of gun will you be putting it on?

I have a Russian SKS.
I was reluctant to bring this up tho, I didn't want to make this thread about "pro" or "con" SKS scoping. I tried for years to shoot with open sights and never enjoyed it. After shooting with a scope I don't want to use any other method of sighting. Thanks again for everyone's input. I really respect this board. Mike |

I didn't know these were still around. Definitely a top choice. It will be a bit larger on top of the SKS, though.

Problems! Don't remember any problems! Anyway,the Sightron ll 4x is a GOOD scope optically from what I've read and heard but is a compact scope. Make sure your outside to outside ring distance is MORE than 4.4". Some rifles have no problems such as the Ruger No1 and I reckon the AR style rifles. Of course there's all those extension things to make almost anything fit. Just a heads up. Someone mentioned low range variables. GOOD option to!
til later
