[GunsAmerica] Three Budget-Friendly Long-Range Scopes Tested (Including Tracking)

To get a sense of the market, I chose three scopes to test: the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50, the Sightron STAC 4-20×50, and the Bushnell Nitro 6-24×50. The Vortex and the Bushnell both hit the market within the last year, so I knew I was getting the latest in terms of quality control. All three scopes can be had for under $600, and they all feature similar magnifications, dimensions, and weights. Each tube diameter measures 30mm.

#11  That man who most grandly accouters
Himself is the envy of shooters,
And, ending his life,
Bids farewell to the wife...
And hello to her Ithacan suitors.

#10  The old joke is, "When I die, will my friends please let my wife know what this stuff is actually worth!"

#8  And, no, I'm not bragging. If anything I'm somewhat ashamed at how much I have tied up in this stuff. Just somewhat...

#5  I had a Hi-Lux scout scope on my M1A. The recoil destroyed it (lenses broken from mounts). Now I have a Vortex, so they can replace it when/if it gets trashed.

#3  I have an older MK 4. It's on a .300 RUM Remingtom 700 Sendero II Stainless fluted 26" barrel on a composite stock. Nice piece of glass

#1  They're never going to be Nightforce or Steiner or Swarovski, but they are getting better and they're cheap enough to throw away when they break. I have a couple Hi-Lux (including a Leatherwood ART II on an M1A) and I like em.
