NEW RUGER 6.5 NEEDS A BETTER SCOPE

usc45cal · Jul 23, 2017

hey guys , the ruger will reach out one mile but obviously there is nowhere to do that , i slapped on a semi junky spare 4x16x44 and im unhappy with it , i think going 600 or a thousand is reasonable , i was looking at a company called MTC they make an awesome range finder and they make scopes but only 6x any help is appreciated
thanks

Vortex are usually a good value.

SWFA scopes seem reasonable

I just got an XTR II 5-25x50 for mine. It's on it's way, but I'll let you know how it works out when it gets in. Bonus is, if you buy it before 7/31, you get a $100 rebate.

Check out EuroOptic.

They have a sale on Vortex PSTs that will work for you: http://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-viper-pst-6-24x50-ffp-rifle-scope-ebr-1-moa-pst-624f1-a.aspx

I have one of these 8-34x56 scopes and for the price it can't be beat. It's FFP with an outstanding reticle! Athlon has a lifetime warranty just like Vortex and they are great to deal with. They are a fairly new company in Kansas. I actually called them up and talked to them before I decided to make the purchase.

ATG? Not familiar. My range is either PNTC or Delmarva sporting clays for pistol/rifle. I shoot skeet and trap at PG Skeet and Trap, or Loch Raven.

I was looking at the Athlon scopes!! Someone did a pretty in depth, side-by-side comparison of them and the Gen II PST's, and if I remember correctly, you get a better scope for the money with an Athlon. I'm looking at getting into the Precision Rifle Series shoots though, and they haven't added Athlon to their approved manufacturer list yet for Production Class, and that's what I need to shoot in to be competitive to start :sad20:

Start at club/local level matches and have fun...don't worry about classing or competition.
