BlueLineFish 615 Posted February 9, 2014 Looking for a good optic for my ptr. Nothing too expensive. Prefer more of a scope but it cant be too long because of the charging handle. Let me know what you are running. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixtytwo327 14 Posted February 10, 2014 Same dilemma here. I tried two different Z-24s and sent them both back because they were in awful shape; I was looking two years ago - no idea what they're going for now. I did like the Leupold VX-R (#4) 1-4x20, but then my permits came in, so it got put on hold. But I think that or a Leupold 2-7 would be nice. Right now, all I have are irons and a good MFI Scope Mount, though, for when I finally do pick up something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice4you 627 Posted February 10, 2014 I seem to be on a Nikon kick, so whenever I get my PTR, I'm thinking one of the Nikon M308 scopes will be on the short list. I'm also thinking about one of the fixed 10x scopes I came across when searching for scopes for my .17, that just weren't appropriate for my uses with that caliber. I currently have a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 and Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 on my better [bolt] rifles, and I will be upgrading other rifles to Nikon glass in the future. I just can't get into the original G3 scopes...I like a nice big objective lens with some serious magnification. It's a problem, because the same applies to my camera lenses...

Worn_Holster 2 Posted March 4, 2014 I bought a Z24 5 years ago when they were plentiful and I I love it especially with the UTG reticle illuminator available for it. I don't know what they are running now, but the last that I looked they were around $500 or so. For the money, you won't find a scope with the same quality optics for that price, even if it is more than the $300 that they went for originally when they were everywhere. If you choose not to go with the military surplus scope, then RTG Parts has a really nice low profile picatinny rail that you can use to put whatever scope you want on for $29. http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/LOW-PROFILE-HK-SCOPE-MOUNT-27p1939.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
