$350 Scope Recommendations

[325 WSM]

I second the Sightron. But not much love on here for Athlon not sure why but many that will qualify for you

You might want to check out the Burris Fullfield. Good value, same great warranty as expected (better than Leupold) and with the new Knob Synergy you can choose like 4 different turret options if you want something other than old school capped turrets. $260 or $350 if you want illuminated. We shot a demo with them a couple of weeks ago and I liked the 4x16 Fullfield enough to buy one as a "just to have scope". Bonus.....HQ in Greely, call center/service/customer service is all there along with assembly of their high end stuff and the Steiner US stuff (they are both owned by Beretta) and I can say directly that NONE of our other suppliers have put as much effort into training us, being available to answer anyone's questions or be as excited about their stuff. https://www.scheels.com/p/00038101533?queryID=c2758c2410221a9

I second this. Burris out performs everything at its price point. Shoot my cheapest Burris has better glass than my Luepy Freedom.

Best scope for that price is SWFA 6x42 fixed. About $300. Will hold zero like your life depends on it and return to zero if you dial.

Good luck finding one

Arken EPL-4 4-16x44mm is tough to beat for $299. Have 3 of them and so far no issues

Potterfield says they’re made in the USA.View attachment 413568

Potterfield is wrong....their scopes are ASSEMBLED in Oregon, NONE of their optics are anything other than Asian and they won't disclose which are which (and their range finders are COMPLETELY built overseas, as well as some of their spotting scopes and all of their binos) . If you look at their price structure it is pretty clear Freedom-China, VX-3,4 and Mark 4-Philippines, and the 5s and 6s-Japan. If you look at the comparable prices you can see the Leupold charges about a 20% premium while posting flags on their advertising. I do not appreciate not being told the truth/being disingenuous.
