Want To Buy scope cheap/cheerful (or recommend)

[KevinB]

A major firearm vendor that is not a sponsor here has Vortex Viper hs 2.5-10x44 for $240. It isn’t the best glass I have seen but it has good eye relief and a good eye box for the price. I have one on my daughter’s 35 Whalen and it has held up well so far.

I won’t claim it is more durable than a Leupold but at that price might be worth trying.

Just trashed a bottom tier german made scope practicing w/ .375HH.

While i figure out what’$$$ next, I need something.

Whatcha got?

How are those $300 Vortex LPVOs?

Hold up to boomers?

Leupold, Leupold, Leupold!!!!

I'm wondering what sort of practicing was done that trashed the scope. The recoil of a standard weight 375H&H usually won't damage a scope provided it was mechanically sound. What gets them are aids such as Lead-Sleds and similar things that modify the recoil.

Would also like to learn from this, thanks.
