Best Budget Hunting Scope Options Under $300

Alan · Jun 24, 2025

I'm looking for a reliable budget scope under $300 that can hold zero while hunting elk. I need something durable with clear optics for low light conditions. What have you guys used and can recommend?

I have had two Nikon Buckmasters on two rifles for about 8 years. They have been very reliable on zero and all around perfectly satisfactory.

For entry level scopes like you mention, Vortex is hard to beat. Warranty is great but have heard very little from anyone having a problem. I have worked with se3veral dozen and have not had to return any. Can't say that for Leupold, Burris, or Weaver. When you want to move up, Swarovski glass is probably the best.
