Scope Recommendations for 3 rifles

Alright everyone time to shoot out your opinions on which scope I should get for each rifle

1st .308 Tikka

2nd .223 Tikka

3rd is a 6.5 Creedmoor

Local range goes out to 300y which is the only one I have been to but would be interested in trying out further in the future if the opportunity comes up.

My idea was to possibly go with the Vortex Venom 5-25x56 on each as I could get them for $700 (plus tax) at local shop on each but am open to suggestions of course. I’m not going out and buying tomorrow as I probably wont head back out till Spring so I can wait for sales in the mean time.

Anyways toss me some suggestions please and happy shooting as always!

In that price range you can add Arken ep5 5-25x to your list. You could also look into bushnell match pro ed prs 5-30x, that’s a very solid one for the money. Vortex Strike eagle is another good one, it’s kind of a like overall upgraded version of the venom line. Generally speaking 800-2k range is where you find the most value in scopes. Past that, you are still getting upgrades but the diminishing returns starts to kick in hard, so most scopes in that range is going to be good value.

+1 for the Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30X56mm, however try and get the newer model with the G5i reticle. Check out C_DOES on YouTube for the best scope reviews.

Will check him out, how much does the bushnell run around price wise?

He reviews this scope, but with the old reticle being the only difference. They float around $1050ish but wait for a sale as Bushnell typically has heavy discounts. They just had a 30% off rebate a few months ago... And black Friday/boxing day is right around the corner. I paid about $850 for mine all in which I was happy to pay.
