Got a new Rem in 7mm 08 and need to put some glass on it. If I had the money would go with a Nikon Monarch but I am BROKE! Want something bigger than a 3x9x40. What is the best scope on the market under 300.00? We hunt a lot of hogs and need a scope that works well in low light conditions!

The Nikon Buckmaster scopes are pretty nice. I've got one and it's a fine scope. You might also look at the Weaver "V" series scopes. I've been using one of those for almost ten years now and have had nothing bad to say about it either.


Take a look here. More scopes than you'll know what to do with. And they're local to the DFW area.

Depending how high power you want to go, these are some of the best cheap scopes on the market:

You can probably find a monarch on ebay for 300.

I'd just post on here in the classifieds that you have 300 to spend and you need a scope. Someone will probably have one you like.

Look at spending about 250 for a Vortex Diamondback in 3-10x50 or a little less for 3-9x40, somewhere around 185. They are made in the Phillipines, but same quality as a Leupy. Their light gathering abilities will suprise you as well! I always try to find something other than that gold ring because i get tired of the same old same old.

double post. sorry

look at the burris fullfield II

Vortex Diamondback under 300
Vortex Viper over 300

Pm Arrowsmith on TBH he can get you a hell of a deal

shoot me a PM with his contact info. Thanks!

Order a Nikon Team Primos scope from SWFA.com for around $199. It's an older model Monarch.

To bad they do not offer it in 50mm! Sounds like a great value on a great scope!

Send me a PM with the specs on which MOnarch you are looking for, we'll be close?

You can find a Monarch on Ebay for less than 300. I bought one last year for $243 shipped and insured. Just be patient and you'll get what you're looking for.

+1 on the Nikon Buckmaster series....great value for the money!

Simmons Elite series also good.

I know you said bigger than 3x9x40 but this is a great scope for the money.

Get this one in one of the specials buys at Cabelas or Bass Pro and you can get a free pair on pretty good binocs. I promise you the scope is top notch.

Take a good look at the bushnell elite series,if your looking for a good low light scope. Those suckers are bright - I'm sold!
