Hard to beat the Vortex Viper 2-7x right now for under $200. They have pretty nice glass and are great quality.

+1. There's nothing with anywhere near the value of the Viper at that pricepoint. Lots of folks seem pleased with the "new" Redfields, for a couple bucks less, but they're not in the same league, glass-wise, with the Vortex. Of course, if you're insisting on 14x magnification, or want a fixed X, or it has to weight < _____ oz., then the recommendations will probably change. FC

What ranges will you be shooting at? The 2-7 Viper mentioned earlier would be far better optically and mechanically than the banner. Can you live with the lower magnification?

+1 but my personal choice would be the Vortex Diamondback 4x12x40 at that price range. My personal .25-06 wears a Vortex 4x12x40 Viper.

These are on sale right now for $199.95, have the BDC reticle, which works with the "SPOT ON" (for PC or smartphone) application so you can tweak holdovers based on atmospheric conditions. |

Does the Vortex Viper 2-7x with Versa-Plex C3 have any hold over utility?

One other question does point of impact change with different magnifications? I have read somewhere somebody saying POI changed from 3x to 7x. They were not talking about the Viper but is that common? |

A scope should not do that, if it does it should be replaced by company. My 6.5-20x viper does not have a POI change.

Smiley, they were likely referring to the bdc drops changing due to it being SFP. The subtensions of the holdover points will change with magnification. The center crosshairs should not shift due to changes in magnification.

UCC - Ultra Clear Coat
Lense coatings on 2nd generation and newer Monarchs. UCC models retain the 3 factor zoom of the 2nd Generation, which puts them at a lower price point than the 4 factor Monarchs. Nikon features a UCC model or two each sales year. Edited by Palehorse - December/02/2010 at 15:00 |

Without a moment's hesitation, I would get a 4-16X Tasco. I you get a chance compare some others with it.

Tasco is complete and utter garbage, don't pay any attention to the above recommendation.
