| New rifle for me.. :-) Not asking any questions..just wanted to let everyone know. :-) Buying a Savage 10FP in .308 cal. Should have it soon..will have to wait to shoot though till I can get a decent scope, mounts, etc. Was looking at that Remington 700 vtr also..I have seen it mentioned a lot lately..but, Savage is coming in at over $150 less and is a great rifle from what I have heard/read. Well, I guess I do have a couple of questions then.. Question 1- Where is a good place to get a good scope at low cost. Low cost = 200-ish. Want something around 4-6x 40 or 42mm. Thinking about looking at Burris, Bushnell, and Nikon offerings. Question 2 - how can I hide a rifle from my wife..she does not know I am buying it. ;-) |

| Sounds like a good setup. I agree with aaron. Try a Nikon 3-9x40 prostaff scope. They retail for like, $230 out where I live, and I love how clear they are. Cowboy |

| I hear good things about The Optics Zone, but no personal experience. The Bushnell Elite 3200 I think is a good value in that price range. The Optic Zone - Product Catalog If you are interested in silver I see they have a good price on the Weaver Grand Slam. Large Selection of Discounted Scopes, Binoculars, Rangefinders and More! Ron |

| Congrats on your new rifle! I wouldn't argue that a Nikon would be a very fine choice, but have a look at these others as well. I own all of these scopes and think both the Burris FFII and Elite 3200s are exceptional deals. Best of luck!

| Sightron make a really nice scope as well. I have an SI series and it is very clear and bright with the added bonus of a lifetime warranty and finger-adjustable W&E turrets. I got it for around $100 delivered off of eBay. They also have a model with a ranging reticle. http://www.sightron.com/
