"Bargain Hunting" a 3-9X40

Post by **ESquared** » Sat Mar 23, 2019 7:02 pm

I've had good luck with the Leo VX-Freedoms, but I'm scouting for a bargain 3-9X40, which has led me to look at Nikons.

Natchez has a big sale going on, but my knowledge of Nikons (other than their camera gear, which I have quite a bit of) is limited. LIke most of these manufacturers, models come and go, so it's kinda mind-numbing. Any reason not to consider "Refurbished"?

Does anyone have any opinions on these? I filtered for $150-$200.

So sorry. Here's a better-filtered look. Dropped down to $125-$200 and re-filtered for 3-9X40.

This one looks like the biggest mark-down, but that's not always a good indicator. Often, quite the opposite. For more background, it could go on my 30-30 or my BBB 45 Colt or the 223 SS that I'm stalking. Don't want to spend my time swapping out and zeroing scopes (although I wouldn't mind getting good at it).

That's quite a sale.

Yes, seems like it, but "lowest price" doesn't necessarily mean "greatest value," nor does the biggest mark-down. And, since I have no Nikon background knowledge, I turned to this group.

I'll get some advice sooner or later...

I don't own a Nikon yet. But I will.

I own 3 or 4 of them, some I've had for several years.
I would buy another with no hesitation.

Actually was looking at one in 1x4 for my shorty 35,
just a week or so ago and stumbled upon on a Leupold for about $75 cheaper so that's what I got this time.

Any opinion on the one Iinked in the 3rd post from the top?

I have no personal experience with that particular model.
But will say this, if you don't like it.
I'll buy it off of ya.
Think it would work well on something I have around here.
