Need advice for an optic

[Sheepdawg719]

Just picked up a used savage .243 with the accu-trigger and looking to it a scope on it. It has iron sight but I wanted to go ahead and mount a scope, just not sure what kind to go with. I don't need an expensive one just a good one that will do the job 200yards and in.

IMHO the Nikon is a good buy. A lot of scope for the money. 3X9 should handle any situation you come across. Get a good mount and rings and mount it properly. You will not be sorry.

I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 Firefly 3-9x50 that would look good on it. Great scope. $150

Burris E1s are fantastic for the $$ or if you want to go a little cheaper there are some great deals on the Burris Fulfield 2s right now. Rebates of $50 on a 3-9x40 and $100 on a 4.5-14x42. I have all of the above mentioned scopes and in my opinion they are the best thing going for the money.

Yep. You won't beat Nikon for the money, and 9x is plenty for 200 yards. Don't use see through rings. Mount it as close to the barrel as you can without touching it. Also, use steel rings not aluminum. You may need to pop the rear sight off.

Define 'expensive'.

That's a good deal...

OK, I'll take the 4.5-14 for $100, actually I'll take the 3x9 for $50 too.

I've got a new vortex crossfire 4-12x44 with a BDC reticle that would be great for that gun. Just sayin...

I just picked up a Nikon prostaff 3-9x40 bdc and I like it a lot! Clean glass and I really like the reticle. Got it at Walmart because they price match Amazon now for $133.
