Okay, so here is a list of scopes and rifles I have. What should I put where and if you want, why. This is how they are now. Just bought the Bausch & Lomb. The Tasco custom shop is going to be on the chopping block I think.

Tikka T3ss .260 - Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32ao BP
Tikka T3 .204 - Leupold VXII 6-18x40ao vhr
Sako A7ss .300wsm - Leupold VXIII 4.5-14x50
TC Prohunter ss .50cal - Burris FFII 3-9x40 BP
Ruger 10/22 HB custom - Simmons Prohunter 6-21x44 sf
Rem custom Bench 6BR - Tasco custom shop 8-40x56 sf
CZ scout .22 - Some little 3-9x40ao compact
Mossberg 342 .22 - Burris rimfire 3-9x40
Marlin 336 .30-30 - Tasco fixed 4x40
- Burris rimefire 3-9x40
- Burris FFII 4.5-14x42ao
- Bausch & Lomb 6-24x40ao
- Tasco 4-16x40ao
 
Forget any 14 plus X magnification for a .30-30 or any of the other cartridges except maybe the .204 and the 6mmBR, if the Tikka is their varmint rifle. FOV is too small for any of 'em. Big magnification and front ocular variables usually just add weight.
Don't bother with a rimfire scope on a centre fire either. Won't handle the recoil.
Bausch & Lomb is Bushnell. Ok scopes, but their QC has gone down.
You may want to think about replacing the Simmons too. Ok and serviceable, but low end scopes. Another Burris scope for the 10/22 would do nicely.
 
ya, with sako's and tikka's your just putting perfume on a pig with a baush&lame simmons or a tasco.

I would sell four scopes and save up to buy a few good ones.
 
Ruger 44-----------VXIII 1.5-5, Heavy duplex
Browning BAR 280---VXIII 1,75-6, Heavy duplex
Browning BAR 25-06-VXIII 1,75-6, Heavy duplex
Rem 7600 25-06-----VXIII 1,75-6, Heavy duplex
Rem 7600 7mm-08---Burris LRS, 3P#4 retical
Rem 7600 260Rem---Burris Safari LRS 1,75-6
Layman Mustang----VXIII 1.5-5, Heavy duplex
Tikka T-3 7mm Mag-Burris 3-9 Fullfield II
Ruger Alaskan 375---VXIII 1,75-6, Heavy duplex

I like the lower power, and heavy duplex for running game in heavily treed terrain.

I have leupold and burris on the t3's and sako! The four scopes at the bottom are ones not on a gun right now.
 
es, but you have a lot of other nice rifles that are deserving of a good scope, ideally you should be spending as much on your scope as your rifle.

Do what you like, my opinion is only worth what you paid for it, keep the leup's and burris's, but why not do some scope shopping and see what other options you may have in comparison to the bushnells and tasco's.
 
Your opinion is welcome, it just sounded like I shouldn't have a cheap Simmons or tasco on my tikka's or sako, which I don't. Sunray figures I should go low power, never tried it, might have to. I was just more saying here is what I have would you leave as is or move them around. And my next scope will likely be a 8-32 or 10-60 sightron.
