A year or so ago I robbed the scope from my .270 and put it on another rifle. I hate the thought of having a rifle that's not ready to go at any time so I'm looking for a scope to put back on it.

I'm looking at lower end scopes like the Leupold VX-1 or the Burris Full Field. I've always been a Leupold fan but I've heard pretty good things about Burris.

What are your thoughts?

Well, I did a little shopping around and found that the VX-1 has been discontinued and replaced with the VX-Freedom. The Fullfield II has been discontinued but several places have them in stock still.

The Freedom does look like a better scope but the Fullfield is a lot cheaper. Like Freedom on sale $299 and Fullfield on sale $119.

What are your thoughts with this update?

I don't think you can go wrong with any Leopold scope.

I have two Burris, there good scopes and are about a $100 cheaper them most scopes If you go with Burris plan to spend the same $$ but you ma be able to step up higher on the scope ladder.

the two I have I like but the parallax is seconds plain I think, which ever one make the hash marks different depending on the power you use.

I think if I was going to purchase a "lower end" scope I would look hard at a Sightron

I'll check out Sightron. I've never had one but am willing to look at anything.

On low end Bushnell is very good. But low $$.

Spent some time looking at Vrtex (made in China) Crossfire, looked good.

If you want a ruffed scope with a guarantee, then Leupold is it.

I have a Vortex Crossfire that I bought on sale a few years ago and put on the .308 that I was asking about a while back.

It's a decent scope so far. Pretty clear and tracks good. If I remember right it was around $100. Definitely worth it.
