    Question Looking for a new scope - need ideas

    I've bought a new 700P recently and now I need a new scope. I'm primary looking at the Leupold Mark 4 line but I am open to other suggestions. I'm looking for something around the 3-10 x 40 range. I don't shoot at long ranges right now (mainly due to the fact that there aren't that many ranges near me that go beyond 200 yds). Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I went with a Mark 4 LR/T on my LTR. I am really happy with it so far. The Mark 4 scopes are really nice.
    This one would probably do everything you wanted, and then some.

    The MK4 optics are very nice, but I prefer the Night Force and S&B line the best.

    I hate to say this but I have several buddies that love the Super Sniper. I do not know if its still for sell or not. Not sure if they are still producing them.

    Often Overlooked

    I really like the Nikon that I have... they make one that sounds like what you are looking for -- 2.5-10x44

    The glass is very nice, crystal clear picture and the etched reticle is very crisp. Illuminated mil-dot system with green or red is nice for overcoming background washout and the price is (was) very decent.

    just a thought...

    My M70 and AR10 both have 2.5-10 Nikons, excellent optic and the price is right.

    Right now I have a Super Sniper 10Xsf and it's a great scope for the money but I am going to sell it and buy a Luepold MK4. The main reason that I am selling it is for the better glass. As far as the Nikon scopes go I had a Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 and it was awesome. The only thing I would have changed would be a good set of target knobs.

    Thanks for all of the input. Right now I'm still leaning very much towards the Leupolds, specifically the Mark 4 line.

    Nikons tactical line is completely different from the sportsman line. Last I was told they are still made at the Nikon plant in Japan. The cost is about the same as a loopy, looks like retail on them is 1000 to 1500... but I think the quality is better than any other scope out there in that price range.
