    Good Cheap Scope

    Just wandering what good cheapish long range type scopes available out there, with an externally adjustable elevation turret? Any recommendations? Thanks

    Pretty derogative statement towards another members gear and their for sale thread.

    As I no Nick he won't mind
    He won't have any trouble selling his scope as the vortex fan club is huge.
    I refrain from commenting on his or others sale thread as that's just wrong.

    Vx3 4.5-14 cds (25mm or 30mm side focus) or swaro Z3 4-12 with ballistic turret should do the business without going too spendy

    I've seen two on trade me in last month go for less than 1k.
    People have a misconception that Swarovski is hell expensive,
    A Z5 is now less $ than a Vx6
    A Z3 is now the same as a vortex pst
    The Swaro has the advantage that you can actually see through the glass.

    Your standards are obviously much higher than mine, and fair enough, but even with my ageing eyes I still don't seem to have any trouble seeing through my Leupold, Bushnell, Weaver or Nikon scopes. It's when I don't have optical help I struggle.

    I have seen plenty of Z3's go for around 12-1400, new, or close enough to it..

    OP needs to define his budget because my definition of cheap and the numbers that are coming up in postings do not gel.
    "Good" + "Cheap" = oxymoron
