i have a 3x9 buckmasters as well that is sitting on a shelf. I took animals out to 365 yds with it, although my new leupold makes it no comparison. Decent scope for the money. If it doesn't work out with bigiron let me know.

are any of these scopes good?

More specifically scroll down and click on the links to Weaver, Burris, & Leupold and browse through those, you won't go wrong with any of those 3 manufacturers.

thanks for the link, but those are all about 200-300 dollars out of my price range!

Get out your Speedo and start washing cars for a fee...maybe you can raise the extra money over the summer. Trust me, it's worth it!!!

ive got 2 job offers for this summer... maybe I could splurge a little bit.

head over to SWFA and check out their sample list, i picked up a Leupold M8 6x scope for 200.00 thats all i ever used for elk or deer.

I highly suggest you take one or both of those jobs and save a little money for a scope. It will be well worth it in the long run. Especially if you plan on using it for elk hunting.

IMHO 2 of the best scopes for the money are the Burris fullfield-II and the Bushnell elite 3200 with the Burris being my first choice. You can purchase them for $180 if you look around.

I don't know much about the Bushnell 3200's, but I had a Burris FF II on my rifle last year, and after my truck got broken into and and my gun stolen I bought a new setup with a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40. I like the Leupold a lot better and the extra money was well worth it in my opinion. Having to turn the entire eyepiece to change the power on the Burris was inconvenient, and the rubber ring around the end of the eyepiece fell off after about ten trips into the field, pretty tacky for a $200 scope. If you can spare the money, go for a Leupold!

I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 and if you can spend the extra money, it would be well worth your time. It has the rainguard lense and I have tested it out. It works great. Try it.
