What scope for Remington 700?

The best budget scopes in my opinion are the Nikon Prostaff series. Around $150 for a 3-9X-40mm at Walmart. Anything cheaper is like flushing money down the toilet in my opinion. You can get better scopes, but will have to go up to $250-$300 to see anything significantly better.

You dont need to spend more on the scope than you did on the rifle.
You just need to get a good quality scope like a Leupold.
I've read it here before "spend twice as much on the glass as you did the rifle"...........utter nonsense.

I've personally had good luck with Barska scopes. Before anyone says anything, I know they are cheap chinese made scopes but they work well. I have one on my Savage 12FV and have put well over 1000 rounds down range without a single malfunction from the scope. Has held zero through all the rounds and even through a rollover accident I was in, in Nov. 2007.

The Bushnell Elite 3000 and 4000 scopes are some of the best out there.
I like the Nikon Monarch line of scopes a lot.

The Bushnell Legend scopes are probably one of the best scopes on the market for what you get.
The Nikon Buckmasters scopes are worth the price as well. Very good scopes.
Mueller makes some dang good scopes, too.

Nikon, Leupold, Zeiss
Zeiss is by far the most expensive, but can be had for about 650-700 for a conquest if you look online. I compared leupold's to zeiss's and to my eyes, the zeiss will win, but leupold makes a scope that will last a lifetime if you take care of it.

I just recently got a Millett and they are pretty good for the money.

What cartridge does your rifle shoot...? distances you'll be shooting at? animals or targets 'size'?
Just wondering how to give a good comment on your question.
I like my NIKON scopes and my Leupolds and Redfields.
The NIKON scopes I have are Monarchs. The eye relief is a bit less than the Leupold scopes.
The Redfield scopes are about the same as the NIKON.
Hope that helps.

Scope for your 700?
Remember, don't ever scrimp on good glass for your rifle. No matter if you have to sell another gun or something else, always try and buy a good quality scope no matter what. You regret it down the road if you don't.
Get at good quality Leupold, or maybe pick up a used Swarovski or Kahles off Gunbroker or Ebay if you can.
