Contender 3-12X40 Rifle Scope

REVIEW BY: CJM Thursday, March 10, 2011
Was very impressed except for the turrets. They easly pull past the first possition, forcing you to "fidget" with them every time you want to adjust windage or elevation. BSA is on to somthing here and I like it. The turret need a spring or other form of resistance between first and second possition.I would prefer allen screw lock down after zeroing and only two possitions on turret. When you change the current set-up, call me.....I will want one.

I just got one for my remington 700 sps in .308 and it has really made long distance shots easy. Very good scope.

Just got one of these for my remington 700 good looking scope that is very easy to sight in/ adjust. However make sure you get high scope rings as with med hight ones that I had was unable to twist in the magnification.

Really decent scope. I have one mounted on an old Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30 (Yes I know, the scope cost twice what the rifle did) that was made in the same year I was born. The rifle is inherently very accurate and with this scope, it reaches it's full potential. I really like the side focus for setting parallax distance and the "Contender Reticle" makes it easy to judge windage and elevation other than where the rifle is zeroed. Also, the lockable/zero settable turret controls with 1/8 MOA clicks really make for precision setting of group center. Worth the money? Absolutely and it stands up to the extreme recoil of the 7.62X54R cartridge with no problems at all. Over 500 rounds downrange after mounting the scope and zero is still right where I originally set it.
