.270 Win scope? .22-250? .223?

[L. Cooper]

Best? For what?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but which scope is best really does depend on what you want the scope to do.

My .270 is a deer rifle. It wears a Leupold fixed power 4X scope.

My .22-250 is a coyote rifle. It wears a fixed 6X scope.

Don't own a .223. My son's .243 gets used for everything because it is his only center fire rifle. He has a 3-9 variable on his.

My take on it is rifles for specialized uses need scopes for specialized uses. General purpose rifles need variable scopes for a variety of situations. There is certainly no "best" scope for any given cartridge.

One piece of advice I can give very confidently is to get very good quality scopes. Spend the money. No rifle is good for anything with poor sighting equipment. You will never regret spending what it takes to get the optical quality, durability, and repeatable adjustments of top quality scopes.
