Not willing to spend cash on a Leopy!!

[Foxy.223]

So I need better glass, and I know Leopold and US Optics and others have great scopes. But I am looking for something under 500 bucks(no pun intended) that would do just as well. I want something 6-24 non mildot, fine cross hair reticle?
I know it is a lot to ask but any suggestions, well besides Bushnell and BSA?
Thanks in advance.
OH and I am shooting over 200 and 300 yards.

My advice is to look for a used Steel Tube WEaver, if they ever made them in 6x24. Better optics and more reliable than Leupold, IMNSHO.

I agree. Weaver V 24. Right around $300.

Got to love ebay.

Look Here

MidwayUSA has them cheaper.

Yea, I just grabbed the first one...but I'm sure that if she looks around, she can find one that she can bid on instead of a buy now...

I'm just not good with optics, so I grabbed the first one I saw...I guess that I should just keep my trap shut.

 

[TonyD]

No prob. They just have them on sale for $299 for the V24 until the 31 of Oct. Then, back up to $329, I believe.

I only know 'cause I'm looking at the V16 for my smallbore silhouette rifle.

I hear ya...I just love ebay. I find so much stuff for my guns on there really cheap.

I just picked up an original 30" barrel for my 97 off there for 55 bucks. It would normaly cost me $120 for a repo...and it was a modified barrel, which they don't even make as a repo. And that's just the last thing that I bought.

There's a guy on there that makes really nice custom grips...again, cheap if someones not bidding against you.

I thought ebay was anti-gun and wouldn't allow anything firearm related.

 

[C-pher]

If they are, then I didn't know it. I have bought mags for my AR, barrels, grips, pistol mags, supplies, etc...

They have a lot of shooting supplies. I love ebay.

They are anti gun. But they only prohibit actual gun and ammo sales. Everything else is alright.

"Everything else" as long as it doesn't fit their W I D E definition of an assault rifle.
I tried selling a fake flash suppressor for an M14 and the auction got dumped by one of their monkeys.

Just curious, why do you want 6x24? 24 is a very, very high power that is only useful off a bench.

And you can get plenty of Leupold's for well below $500. http://www.swfa.com

Nope, I've gotten a bunch of USGI M14 mags that way. Of course, the sellers were claiming they were 10 round.
