This gets my vote. I bought one a couple of years ago and I like it a lot. Threw it on an old .308 and never had an issue with it. For $100 it's hard to beat imo

30mm tube’s advantage over a 1” tube is the amount of windage and elevation adjustment. It doesn’t make a scope inherently brighter or clearer.


Where in my post say anything about it making it brighter or clearer? You made my point. You can certainly put a 1” tube scope on a 6.5CM. It just limits your MOA adjustment for anything beyond 300 yards

One of the first replies was a link to a Vortex at Temu. I have a hard time believing that Temu sells authentic scopes, but this one was interesting if so:

Yeah, something's fishy. The same scope is $700 on Midway.

Tasco scopes. Been around for ever. Very inexpensive and work fine. I paid less than $100.00 for the 3-9 x 40 on my Remington 270. Works great.

IMO Burris makes the best budget scopes out there.

I have 3 of the Droptines, two of the rimfire versions on a 22 lr and a 22 wmr and a regular one on a 30-30. The glass is way better than the Vortexs I have at a similar price point.

What percentage of people asking for advice on a budget deer scope do you think are dialing turrets shooting 300 plus yards?

There are lots of Chinese counterfeit scopes out there. Leupold is one of the most common.

I have a high priced Leupold on my .270 and a Nikon 3x9 on my .243 and 35 Whelen . All work great . Better hold the .35 whelen tight , already got 2 black eyes .

BUT ITS A CREEDMOOOR'

You can't have a creedmoor without exposed turrets! Even if you have no fricking clue how to use them or any use for them, you must have them.

Lets ignore the fact that the average coonass has trouble hitting a barn from the inside, you gotta have a 30mm tube and 60 mils of adjustment and a christmas tree reticle on a creedmoor.

I put a Burris Eliminator 5 on my Tikka 6.5 PRC last year. First Burris I have owned and I really like it.

Its definitely not budget scope for the OP though.
