| Looking for a little advice in purchasing a scope for my new build to be used for varmit hunting. Something that is a good performer but doesnt break the bank. I will mostly be using it for daylight shooting. |

Weaver Grand Slam 6x20x40 Adjustable Objective. You won't find a better varmint scope for $335, imho. It compares with a Leupy VX 3, in terms of glass/clarity, etc. I took the recommendation of the folks at SWFA to get this over a more expensive Leupy, and I've been very happy with it. It's bright, crystal clear, and the very light reticle doens't obscure any small targets. It's got a bona fide "quick focus" dioptor style adjustment in the back. I've had a couple of Fullfields IIs, and I think the GS is a better scope...a little more expensive, but it's just better all the way around. The Super Sniper is a great scope, but the fixed magnification won't be anywhere near as versatile as a variable. I'd get another GS in a minute. There's a 3x12 GS in the EE that's been there for a while at $200. I don't need another scope, but I've had to fight the urge to buy it several times. |
