Bushnell Trophy XLT vs. Vortex Crossfire

[mlehtovaara]

Looking for a scope for a Savage MK II for mostly 50 and 100 yards. Now before anyone starts starts telling me about AO being needed I dont feel the need to spend any more for it on this gun, and haven't had an issue with my other guns at 50m.

Dont want to spend more than $200 as its just for the range.

Vortex Crossfire 4-12 is $150.

Bushnell Trophy XLT 4-12 is $180.

I have had good luck with Bushnell and have had a scope replaced by them under warranty without hassle.

I am hearing good things about Vortex though but not sure about the lower end stuff.

Thanks
Mark

I've got a Trophy XLT 4-12. Its a good scope for what I paid. I really have no complaints about it. Obviously I could spend 3x the money and get better scope.

For the same money (or less) take a look at the new Nikon Prostaff II. I recently bought one, and also I have a Trophy XLT. Both are nice, especially for the price. However, the Prostaff II really looks brilliant. Get the BDC reticle too.

New Contender in the mix.

Vortex Crossfire 4-12 x 40 w/ AO - $179

For the same price as the Bushnell might as well have the AO.

The Bushnell has AO.

I have had many bushnells and never had any problems with them. I dont have any experience with the vortex but hear they are good. I currently have a trophy XLT on my muzzzloader and I am quite pleased with it.

Vortex all the way in any shape or form for my tastes.

Bahahahahaha!

No offence but your user name doesn't quite instil confidence in your opinion of scopes. LOL
