What is the Best scope for a savage model 110 left handed rifle .243?

Question

i need the power of the scope and the brand and the cost. thanks!

Answer 1

The amount you spend on your optic should be related to the amount you spent on the gun.  Some say you should spend 2x on the optic.  I like to spend about the same on the optic that I spend on the gun.  Remember, if you can't see it, you can't shot it - then it doesn't matter what kind of gun you have.  I prefer Nikon optics, but most of the name brands have their followings.  The real question is where do you plan to hunt.  If you plan on hunting on the east coast, then a 3-9 x 40 would work great due to the limited ranges you will probably be hunting.  If you are hunting in the mid west then a scope with more magnification and light capturing ability may be required.  The Nikon Prostaff 3-9 x 40 is a good scope at $150.00.  The Nikon Buckmaster 3-9 x 40 is slightly better and will run you around $200.00.  The Nikon Monarch (Nikon's top line) would cost you a bit more.

Answer 2

i have the exact same rifle and it came with a simmons on it. i have had nothing but trouble with it .the recoil of the gun ,little as it is knocks my scope off all the time very frustrateing for me. so i suggest you go with a higher end scope and save your self the headache.

Answer 3

My favorite scope brand is Leupold, but they cost as much, if not more than your rifle did, VX-III 4.5-14X40 costs $529, for a cheaper scope I'd suggest a Simmons. Burris and Nikon make really good scopes too, and they're a little cheaper than Leupold.      Don't buy Bushnell, those things are JUNK, they absolutely will not stay zeroed, even with a really mild recoiling rifle like a .243

Answer 4

All you need is something like 3-12 magnification. My favorite scope company is Sightron. I have found that they have the quality of higher end scopes but for cheaper prices. and they make several in that range. All have a 42 mm objective lense. check out midwayusa.com for the scopes.

Answer 5

Nikon makes a nice 3-9 with a BDC reticule for around $160.

Answer 6

For a fairly inexpensive rifle, you'll want a fairly inexpensive scope, but you don't want to scrimp too much. Something like the Leupold VariX II line would be appropriate. As for magnification, that'll depend on what you're doing with it most. If it's primarily for deer (a mistake, in my opinion), then 2-7x will be the best range. If it's primarily for varminting, as it should be, then something in the vicinity of 3.5-10x will be more appropriate.

Answer 7

Leupold VX II, 3-9X40 at $275.

I suggested a "General Use Scope" because you don't mention the rifle's specialty. I have a 243 primarily for varmint so it wears a higher power scope; Burris FFII, 4.5-14X42 Tactical.I'm zeroed with 58 grain Hornady VMax bullets. So, with a bullet change and re-zero, it could become a Deer rifle. For Deer I usually have my scopes set for 3, 4 or 5 power.

Answer 8

Leupold 3.5x10x40 for about $560.00

Answer 9

Check out the Burris Brand in a 3 to 9 power variable, reasonably priced and a great warranty, well made.*
