Deer Rifle Scope
What is a good, 3x9 or 4x12 deer rifle scope that is on the market now? I've heard alot about the new Nikon Monarch. "Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death." — Gen. Omar Bradley |

i've always liked leupold, nightforce and US optics... don't know about the monarch

Monarch's are nice for the price, bought binos last year and now plan on buying a couple of their scopes. I have one leupold VariX II 3-9x but having looked at the Monarch I like them better. Watch for them on ebay you might be able to get a pretty good deal, 2.5-10X42mm is a good bet for deer.

for hunting i like alot of scopes depending on the terain your goign to be hunting in and how much money you wanna throw away. i have shot and killed dear with a cheap ass 3 to 9 tasco so alot depends on yourself as a shooter and then the terain

I have had good luck with several scopes from BSA. I have a Mil-dot unit on my G3 and find it adequate.

i like the vari x series,but if i am gonna hunt rough terrain i switch to a 3-9 tasco,so if i fall and break the scope it is cheap to replace.as far a magnification i like a fixed 4 power,but most scopes are 3-9,if you have poor eyes a 6 power is nice too.i have a 6.5-20x50 that is sweet cause at 100 yards it is useable but for long range it is awesome

I personally like my bushnell tactical, it's powerful but versatile, only limited by it's user. Not to mention that it can take a hit and still be on it's mark.

There is a nice article on scopes in this months Guns & Ammo. Van Zwool doesnt mention some of my favorites but he does cover the topic very well. I have included the link.

Bushnell scopes are also good for the money. They have fixed powers with cicle x reticle and variables too. Very affordable and durable too. check em" out!

I find a fixed scope is best something like a 7x50, I currently use a meopta for stalking deer.

I like the Leopold's and I hava a Simmon on my AR right now. I would go with what you can afford and what you like. Can't go wrong that way.
