Adjustable turrets?

mix · August 6, 2009, 10:20 PM

Hey guys I'm looking for a scope with an easily adjustable elevation turret... like the kind you don't have to unscrew. Id be putting it on my '06.... any ideas?

Reliability of course is first

Ive heard bad things about BSAs... so I'm probably not buying one of those

Look at Bushnell Elite line of scopes. If you want to keep it inexpensive, try the 3200 Elite series. The least expensive that is very reliable would be the fixed power. I have a 3200 fixed 10X scope. It is very reliable. It tracks very well and the glass is decent. In fact Barrett puts the same scope on his 50 BMG and 416 rifles.

PS. I forgot to mention that the scope has target turrets that are easy to zero. The turret has one screw on top that you loosen up to re-zero and tighten down when you're done. Very simple to work with.

yeah they seem pretty nice... and if it can handle a 50 I'm sure it would be able to handle my puny 06

I've been shooting the Bushnell Elite with a 30-06. No problems at all. It's been at least 500 rounds.
