THE RIGHT SCOPE POWER

check out those scheel scopes, good reveiws on them and not so spendy

 I have 3 of the scheels scopes on my rifles.... 7mm Ultra Mag .... 7mm Rem Mag... and a Rem 700 25-06.... Ive had nikons and Leupold.... and in all honesty... I have had better luck with the scheels scopes... they are very clear.... and for the price 230-300... they have a lifetime warranty... even if you lose your receipt... they will exchange one over the counter... no questions asked.... GREAT scope for the price and will handle the recoil of a big bore

I have went to the 30mm tubes makes a heck of a differance and if I remember right the the scheels scope are pentex or burris

Do we have a Scheels salesman on here???? Scheels does not make scopes! They have somebody else do it and then slap their name on it so you can;t comparison shop and they can maintain their margins. Which actually means they are over priced!!!  Sorry they might be decent scopes, but you will pay more for what you get!!!  Personally I like to get the most for my dollar!  Buy Leupold or save a few bucks and buy Nikon! I have never been sorry about purchasing either one! Great scopes, Great warranties and no problems!!!

Tearbear.... I can say YES i worked at scheels.... but it hasnt been for about 4 years... and what some people dont know... the "scheels scope" ...was made by LEUPOLD for 2 years!! Thats why they have a good warranty..... not sure who makes the "scheels scope" now.... but mine are the older style ones made by leupold with the "scheels" name on them.... Scheels does have a hefty margin to price ratio..... they make about 60% on their scopes.... as I paid alot less for them when I worked there... butttttt even for their price they are a good scope....  I got a leupold after I worked at scheels.... a factory one.... had problems with it.... so its all about the pick of the litter.... maybe it was just a lemon? who knows.... but the "scheels scope" is a good scope for the price plain and simple.

For some reason im also thinking they are now made by Burris Gunrunner701..... and if thats the case... Burris makes pretty decent scopes

I think  scheels scopes are damn good for the money!  think there made by pentex?  I own lots of scopes: nikon, burris and swift are my favorites!  dont own a leapold yet! but I cant find the cash for one!  

 257.... ive heard pentex and also burris... not sure which one... but I really like my scopes and they have performed VERY well in some high yardage and low light situations ( 600+ yards)
