Fixed power scopes

[bigstickpilot]

I am looking for a good fixed power scope, probably a 6x36 or something in that class. What is your favorite?

I have only had the Leupold FXIII 6x42 in fixed scopes so I can't really vote. But this scope is great and works for me.

I have been very happy with just about anything from Bushnell. They have great Canadian service if you ever have any problems.

for a 6x i would look leup 6x36. if your budget allows look at the 6x42. bright and clear. if your on a tight budget try a weaver 6x38, for under $200 there pretty decent. i don't think bushnell has any fixed power upper models any more, only entry level junk.

All my benchrest scopes are fixed power, Leupold and Weaver 36X or 40X. For this work, varminting, and alot of hunting situations i prefer a straight power scope.

Weaver but only becuse they are %25 the price of a leopold. If money's no issue go with leopold

I tried to buy a fixed 6X a couple of years ago.The local gun store owner told me he no longer carried them as everyone wanted variables.Told me to buy a 3-9 and screw it closed on 6X!I responded with the fact that 6X was the max power I can use without going into spaz wobble and missing.Things have only gotten worse,I think 3-9 is now considered a punk scope and the min. magnification has moved up to 5 or 6.

I've got straight 4X and straight 6X Burris Fullfield scopes, which aren't made anymore. They are nice and bright and durable if you can find a used one. I'd go with a Leupold based on what's commonly available to day.

I'm really impressed by my 6X42 FX111 for its optical quality, and for want of a better term it's user friendliness. I still prefer my variables though, and likely always will.

i have both a fixed 6 x42 leupold and a sightron .both are great scopes.

For fixed power scopes I prefer an ACOG

Leupold's are nice, so are IOR and Kahles...

 

[CZ_Brno]

Obviously Leupold is a great choice. I have Weavers, and Redfields I'm satisfied with too. I also have a couple Hawke 4x AO scopes on my rimfires and I'm impressed with how clear the optics are.

 

[K_Roc]

another vote for Kahles- love my '60s built 4X- super clear optics and cost me only a clean $300!

I have a lovely old Leupold 8x42 AO with the target crosshair. Easily my favorite scope, has very crisp and clear optics and that thin crosshair makes it easy to do surgical paper punching.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input, guys. Leupold a clear winner at 59%. I'll let you know what I get later.

X2!
i have one of each and several leupolds.
I also use Unertls, a 4x, 6X ( with internal erector screws),
and a 10X , 20X RTB
as well as a Lyman super Targetspot RTB.

I also have a few older Bushnell fixed 4's hanging around.....

My first Leupold was a 6X42, that I've now had for almost 20 years. That scope has been on a dozen different rifles, some mine, others good friends of mine to tie them through till they could get a scope of there own. That scope has never lost zero. This past september I went on a Caribou hunting trip, that scope was on my mountain rifle. The scope survived the boat trip on the lake in 4 foot waves, sitting in the guncase on the bottom of the boat get thrown around, me not being able to hold onto the guncase as I'm holding onto the boat for dear life, praying that we don't get thrown into the water.

Anyway, got back home, went to the range, the scope was still zeroed.

Oh, most important thing of all, It got me my two caribou
