Tornado1979 145 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) I've finally narrowed my search down for a scope for new rifle but can't decide which one, can anyone help ??Which one is the best for the field ?Redfield Revolution 3-9x50Nikon pro staff 3-9x50The redfield is approx £20 more so not much in price difference.And I've seen all comments about spending money on scope and change of the rifle but £200-£250 is my budget for the scope.

bman940 7 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 As someone who is a bit biased, I would say the PROSTAFF 3-9 with BDC reticle is tough to beat. Best of all it more then fits into your price range. By choosing the BDC reticle you can use Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program to dial in your rifle,scope and ammo to obtain the greatest possible accuracy. The PROSTAFF has fantastic light transmission for those dark days or early morning late evening shooting. I have even shot hogs with mine under a full moon at 100 yards. Plus, Nikon's outstanding Lifetime warranty is always nice! I hope this info helps? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Both are good, but I'd go for the Redfield. I believe they are made by Leupold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tornado1979 145 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Both are good, but I'd go for the Redfield. I believe they are made by Leupold. I did read on one of reviews they were made by leupold... So I'm now sat back on fence haha Think I'll go and see them both in flesh and decide next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bman940 7 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 You are doing the right thing! That is what I tell folks to do all the time. I try to pas on whatever info you need but bottom line, you have to buy the one that you think is best for your needs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tornado1979 145 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thanks for info... I've gone for the Redfield Revolution 3-9x50 after checking them both out in the flesh and doing some more research. Just the moderator to sort now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEOFF.223 83 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Had both nikon better to look through and easier on the eye by a fair bit 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlie caller 3,654 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Nikon is much better pal why dont you pop down and have a look through mine, trust me if you go redfield you are buying an inferior scope. Sorry just realised you said you have already bought it, good hunting mate. Edited November 29, 2013 by charlie caller 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
