Looking to ad a matte or silver scope on a stainless rifle. Man they a little pricey

You get bout what you pay for. Cheap zcope, you threw money away. Vortex has a good quality for the money budget scope.

I am looking to buy a vortex for a Remington model 7 I bought after deer season.

go with Leupold or Burris or make the jump to the really dollar scopes.

what's your "pricey" range?

also, i would stick with matte. i have two silver scopes and while they look good and match the rifle (and pistol), too bright when the sun hits it. if you're set on a silver one, i have a silver leupold VX3 i'm replacing on a rifle, $300.

Nikons seem to be great scopes for the money! I have a Buckmaster, a Prostaff and one with the BDC reticle that may be a prostaff for 223.

I love my Nikon. Great glass for the money.... My Prostaff is clear as a bell, and the BDC reticle is da bomb.

I forgot to mention I also have Nikon Prostaff Binos. I'm sure you can spend more money but for $150 I'm very satisfied!

I had a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 BDC, it was lacking what I wanted, but I do think the Nikon 4-12x40 would've suited my wants/needs.
When I'm shooting, I like a very small dot to aim at, my eyes ain't what they use to be, so more magnification works for me,
Some people are satisfied with softball size groups,
I aim small, I like dime size groups,
some may argue that more magnification don't help, but it sure does with me.
I've had my son shooting nail heads for practice.

Not telling you what to do but if it were me I'd go with a matt black scope. I've got a silver one on a stainless rifle and I don't especially like it. JMO

I’ve recently gotten a Ruger with a stainless Leupold vxii that looks really good together. I’m just not a fan of silver scopes. So it’s getting replaced.

How much do you want to spend?

I have had Leupold on all my rifles.

Can't go wrong with Burris, Nikon, or the American made Red fields.

You really do get what you pay for in a scope. I normally spend no less then $250 on a scope.

Leupold makes Redfield. I agree a good scope is important but there are plenty of good scopes out there you don’t have to pay a fortune for. Cheap scopes nowadays have better glass in them than expensive scopes 20 years ago.

.............Cheap scopes nowadays have better glass in them than expensive scopes 20 years ago.

No way I would agree with that statement. If you think Simmons, bushnell and the other far east scopes have better glass than older Khales, Swarovski, zeiss, leupold and schmidt & bender, you should look through some of the oldies.
