Entry-level rifle scopesPosted by TexasTiger90

1I'm looking at the following scopes and was wondering if anyone has any experience with either platform:
1. Burris Droptine 4.5-14 x 42
2. Vortex Crossfire II 4-12 x 44
3. Vortex Diamondback 4-12 x 40
Not looking to spend more than $225-$250 (not including mounts, etc), as this is very entry level and going to be used to get comfortable behind my new rifle. Other recs welcome

on 12/10/20 at 10:29 am to TexasTiger90Don’t buy cheap optics. Always buy the best you can afford. It will make shooting and hunting much more enjoyable.

on 12/10/20 at 10:30 am to TexasTiger90Any of those three will be fine. I have the Crossfire II and the Diamondback HP. Both have been more than adequate for my needs.

More good options than you can count in that price bracket.
I'm an admitted leupold fan boy and would get a leupold.

If you can afford to buy nightforce or swarovski glass then by all means go for it. But "cheap scopes" today are 100x better than what many of our dads and grandpas killed 100s of deer with.

on 12/10/20 at 11:07 am to TexasTiger90If that's what you want to spend there are plenty of options. I wouldn't plan on being able to easily use the top end of any of those, but 4-8 should be fine.
