What $250 scope would you guys recommend, I want a minimum 6-18x and would prefer it to remain Adjustable objective with a 40mm so accesories will fit.

so for $250 +/- what scope is the best bang for the buck..... I see tasco, bushnell and simmons as the main contenders.
 
Bushnell. I have a 6x18. I think it was $189.00ish at SIR? Not bad for an inexpensive scope. Within your budget and you should have lots left over for flip up covers etc.

I also have a 6x24tasco.:rolleyes: Save your money......

Don't know about simmons.
 
I have a Simmons ProHunter 6-24 x42 Mildot on my Biathlon 7-2 KO. Optics are clear and I'm very satisfied. It retails for about $270 but you can find cheaper ones on ebay. I also have the tasco 6x24 kinda like Joe's but the Simmons rules over it.
 
Inexpensive Fitco

If it's a smaller caliber, try fitco.com. John imports scope made in China (I think). I've purchased 3 or 4 now over the past 3 years, all of them are great and under $100. On one of my 22's I have a 50mm 8-24 power. Check out the web site, he ships all over north america. Quite a few of the guys at the local gun club I belong to have had them even longer and no complaints. Or for $250 you can buy 2 or 3.

Bushnell.

I give a thumbs up for Bushnell as well. I think they make some of the best bang-for-the-buck optics on the planet, and their customer service is second to none. I own their stuff for all my optic needs; rifle scopes (3), binoculars (2 pairs), and spotting scope. They've never let me down, and always worked pretty well.
 
I find that Simmons has less of that "big black ring" around your field of view than the Tasco scopes in that power range. A friend just bought Simmons Whitetail Classic (6.5-20 x 50mm) and it is way superior to my Tasco 6-24 in every aspect.

I have some Bushnells which I really like buy they are lower powered scopes.
 
I just got a BSA 3-12x50AO Contender in with a rifle I just bought, didn't know the gun came with a scope so going to try it on my 10/22.

any opinions on BSA ??
