I am on a budget and ran across a presma sniper eagle scope for my grendel build has anyone had any experience with these. I can not find many reviews

WOW! If I hadn't spent all my saved up money getting more ammo along with (4) 50cal ammo boxes to store the ammo, I'd be jumping on that Weaver deal. That's a hell of a buy. It would go nicely with my other Weaver that is a Classic V16 I have on a Marlin 917VRX 17HMR.

Natchez still has the deal going on the Weaver Grand Slams. They also have 3-12x at a very good price. I went to several sources to verify the going prices and they about 1/2 which is a great value.
The Bushnell Trophy XLT scopes are on closeout at other sellers and are also going for close to 1/2 of their original price. $80-100 will buy a $150-180 scope. They are decent scopes for the money but not up to the Weaver Grand Slams. I have several of the XLT shotgun scopes 1.75-4x32 with circle X reticle. They are short range scopes. The further you shoot the better the scope you need. You cant hit what you cant see.
A used Bushnell Elite 3500 2-7x32 went for $96 with $18 shipping so used is also a good option.

Shawn, run from the Sniper scope as fast as you can. While many of the posts are harsh they are also factual. My rule of thumb goes like this: 60/40 split, if I have $1k to spend then I’ll spend $600.00 on the rifle and $400.00 on the optic. It doesn’t matter how accurate your rifle is if you can’t see what you are aiming at.

Fortunately for you your stated hunting range is 75-150 yards and there are a number of scopes that will work and stay within your budget. You don’t need a scope with a 50mm objective. The quality of the glass and coatings are what is important when it comes to low light capability. The 10mm difference in objective size between a 40 and a 50 won’t make a difference in low light.

Buying used is a great idea depending on scope brand. If you buy Leupold, Vortex and others used, it will be fixed or replaced at no charge even if you are not the original owner and the scope was broken when you received it.

I’m recommending two scopes that will fit within your budget. First would be a Burris Fullfield II 2-7x35. Burris is owned by Beretta as is Steiner. Scopes of European origin tend to better in low light than other brands, even if they are assembled in Asia which the Fullfield assuredly is. I’ve had the privilege of looking through many many scopes and sub $200.00 I’ll take a Fullfield II for hunting. Most of the animals I shoot I encountered early in the morning and late in the day. In such low light conditions is where the Fullfield II shines. The 7x peer max will get you to 300 yards easily for deer, hogs and coyotes.


The other scope is the Minox ZV 3 3-9x40. Just did a quick internet check and they are not available at most places they have been. It is a great sub $200.00 scope too if you can find one.
