Looking for a new scope to add on to my new rifle shots will be no more than 150yds. Not looking to break the bank just a nice scope to get the job done maybe a doe or hog but mainly predator hunting.

You'll get a zillion suggestions and there are a zillion options, but first we need to know what 'the bank' is willing to spend. So what's the spend range? Up to $100; $100 to $200; $200 to $400; $400 to $800; or unlimited?

I've got plenty of scopes and most of them are various Leupolds. I do have a couple of relatively low cost Burris scopes and I've been very pleased with them. Moderate priced scopes from Burris, Nikon, Bushnell, Weaver, Vortex, Redfield, and Leupold should all work just fine for you. Personally, I'd be less excited about BSA, Tasco, Centerpoint, Barska, and a few others in that lower price range.

603 has a very valid point.

Is there anything else you can supply us with in order to narrow the field down?

Budget, budget, budget.

But the ultra short answer is Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40. Whenever I get this open ended question, that is what i usually reply when i don't feel like giving the whole speech and trying to find out what one is really looking for. Very usuable power range, proven reliablity, good price point (especially now). SWFA has them on sale right now for the wicked great price of $139.99. it really is a steal at that price. i sold a used one a couple years ago to someone on here for $120. Full disclosure, I have no interest in or connection to SWFA other than being a previous satisfied customer.

It's a lot of scope for the money


for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

My daughters Stevens/Savage 22-250 is toped with a 4-12 Nikon Prostaff, must say I am pretty impressed with it for the price.
