I inherited a Sako Finnbear , 300 Win Mag. I need to scope it. What's a not too expensive scope, with decent optics that won't come apart from the recoil? A lower power variable, I think. The Finnbear has a REALLY long action so tube length matters.

 

Have you looked at the New budget priced Leupolds?

 

The Torch,

probably your best scopes for the money.

Check around, you may be able to save $10 or so.

Don't know about anybody else, but I have had Simmons scopes. Had no problem with them.

 

A good scope (like the ones mentioned) make a world of difference. Especially if you hunt early morning and near dusk. A good scope will allow you to pick out a target when it's almost dark. A cheap scope is almost useless once the sun has fully set.

 

I have a Sako Vixen .222 that I purchased new around 1970. IIRC you could only get mounts from Sako and they were VERY expensive. Have you priced them yet?

 

I've got Sako mounts. Just need a scope.
