the scope im likeing the best right now is the one on my dual purpose varmit deer hunting rig. 25/06. its leupolds old style varix III 4.5-14x40. the scope is always clear and i rarely adjust the paralax. i set it at 150yds and leave it there. image is bright and clear from 50yds to way past 300 at that setting. i shoulder this set up on daily bases plinking crows coyotes and other varmits.
yes sightron does have the best warranty in the market. doesnt matter if you bought it used or new if its broken take it to a dealer and they hand you a brand new one no questions asked. you dont have to send it back to them to get fixed or fill out some paper work or maybe be quizzed on if your the original owner.
i have first hand exsperince. i aqured a 4-16x42 sightron milldot scope. scope worked good for awhile but began to not focus very well. i heard about this wrranty deal so i figured id give it a try. i was shocked when the sales person grabbed the 300 dollar plus scope from me and walked back and handed me a knew one no questions asked.
even though i got brand new one i ended up getting rid of the scope. it never seemed to be very clear and the paralax adjustment had to be right on the money. sold it and got the leupold and thats about the best thing ive ever done.
ive also tried the simmons 2.8-10x44 aetec. this scope was very clear for awhile. but like otheres stated above it bagan to fall apart from the inside out. it became so hard to see through that i just got rid of it. didnt care about simmons warranties. that was more i can stand of them as it was.
right now i have 3 scopes.
two new style vxII leo 3-9x40s. i think these are the best for your money going. i wouldnt go for the riflemen line of scopes. one 3-9 is mounted on my 270win and get this the other is on my 10/22. both are very very clear and have taken all kinds of abuse from me and just keep on ticking.
ohhhh get this. my 2506 is the most used and hunted with rifle i own, my part tim job keeps me packing it usualy 7 days a week. after useing the rifle that much youd think id knock the sites loose or out of wack requring me to site in again.
i havent touched the scope adjustments in 2 years. and ive been killing things left and right lately. every few months or so i punch a few rounds through paper just to make surre then get right back to punchn critters..
leupold in my opion is the only way to go. i cant even talk myself into cheap scope for rimfires. my way of thinking, i know if i scope a 22lr with good glass that scope will be available to rob when i get a new rifle.
