im looking for glass to put on my 7mm wsm, and i didn't know if ya'll had a preference on scopes. id like a decent sized scope, but not a 3-9x40 too small for me. Any tips or ideas would help!

 

I have this one on top of a 7mm Rem mag. Bushnell Trophy XLT

I used it out west antelope hunting and it worked fairly well. The optics were pretty good and the BDC is within the kill zone for most hunting situations. You could spend a lot more $$$ for one but not pick up too much more.

 

ive already got one figured out. thanks for the idea though!

 

Well what is it?

 

Nikon Prostaff 4-12x 50. need to get it yet.

 

Was just going to suggest the Nikons. Every single scoped gun I own (which is quite a few) has a Nikon on it. For the price vs. performance I find it very hard to beat them.

 

That is a decent scope for the money, really depends on what kind of hunting or shooting you plan on using the scope for. I've got the Leupold VX3 4.5-14x50mm-side-focus with a varmint recticle on my 22-250 for coyote hunting. Great scope and the BDC is dialed in perfectly for my bullet selection.

 

I liked the Nikon but the selling point for me was the recticle on the Bushnell. It can be used to estimate the distance of white tail and mule deer and has a traditional cross hair. The Nikon did not have this and used different size circles for each distance.
