Scope for 7mm mag encore
« on: March 24, 2011, 10:42:03 AM »
I just got a 7 mm mag barrel for my encore and have not decided on a scope yet.Probably going with a 3x9 x 40 just want something that will hold up to the recoil.Price range is up to $150.

The recoil of a 7mm Mag. isn't all that bad so any well made scope should handle it.  I've bought a number of Leupold scopes used in the price range you mention and I don't see much downside to that since Leupold will honor the warranty even if you buy the scope used.  Also, a scope with 7X or 8X magnification on the top end is plenty good for even 300+ yard shots at small targets.
