Ok, so i got a new rifle 223 caliber and i want to replace my red dot bushnell with something that will be good for longe range shooting. I have 100 bucks to deal with and am looking to get a tactical style scope. I don't know a whole lot about choosing a good scope or how to read magnification on them, any help would be greatly appreciated..

It will help a lot to describe your 223 caliber rifle, define long range, and tell us want you want to shoot at. That said, if you're talking factory new, I really doubt there is a sub-$100 "tactical" optic worth having, so start watching the Equipment Exchange like a hawk, and maybe subscribe to the SWFA Sample List and see if you can find something there you like. Good luck.

First, what is your definition of "long range".
Second, what type of targets will you be shooting the most. Paper? Steel? Varmints? Thrid, $100 isn't gonna cut it. It barely buys you a functioning scope. You are going to need to at least double that to find something worth while. |
