I am new to hunting and am getting my gear ready for the upcoming season. I will be buying a browning x-bolt 30-06 and I want to know what scope i should be mounting on it. I live in bc and plan on hunting for elk and deer.
I can get a good deal on bushnell products but I can't decide on which model or magnification.
Which model would you recommend and why?
thanks
 
there is some difference in the 3200 and the 4200 but the 6500 has 30mm tubes that is the only major difference when you compare them to the 3200 and 4200 scopes.if you are doing a lot of long range hunting then a scope with 5-15 or 6-18/24 power would be good but if your doing a lot of woods hunting go with something with a lower low end power like a 3-9 or a 4-12.a good fixed 4 power is a good all round scope for the 30-06.it will work on anything within the effective range of that rifle.since the fixed powers tend to run cheaper in price you might be able to upgrade the a better scope with better glass which will make it an even better scope.you get what you pay for.
 
Without knowing what sort of terrain and conditions you would be hunting in, I would choose the Elite 3200 2-7x32, as it is lighter and more compact than a 3-9x40 and has a more useful magnification range. The lower magnification is better if you have to make a close in shot and you don't need really high magnification for hunting big game at any reasonable range.
 
I had a couple 3200 2-7 scopes for a while, probably the most versatile...

For less money you can get a new Redfield with better warranty/service...
 
For that price range, I have switched my two Bushnells for Burris FF II. I find in lower light hunting situations, the Burris is much clearer. I shot two deer last year that I know for sure I would have been straining my eyes to see with the Bushnells.
