Trade at gun show - How did I do?

[txgolfer45]

I traded a DeHaan 12 ga sxs shotgun for the Ruger M77 MKII with a Redhead 3x9x40 scope plus $100. How did I do?

I think I will change out the scope as I don't think the Redhead scope is very good quality. Agree?

 

[dee]

Depends on what grade and model the shotgun was.

 

[txgolfer45]

It's a turkish shotgun imported by DeHaan and mfg'd by Huglu. DeHaan no longer imports them. The shotgun is similar to the CZ shotguns made by Huglu for CZ.

It's got a 27x power scope on it?!?!


sorry...stupid pet peave.

It depends, do you think it was a good deal? If so then hell yeah it was a good deal! As far as Redheads go it is a big debate as to who makes it, I know some people who claim they "are in the know" and that it is a private label Bushnell, then I read at SWFA that it is not a Bushnell but they all agree that it is made in China (but what isn't these days).

As far as quality.......it's a $200 scope try it for a while and see if you like it. I have read a few reviews where the higher magnification gets blurry but others think it's great.

I think this one gets blurry at higher magnification too. So, it will need to go. I'm not sure which model it was as it is probably an older model scope than what is currently in the catalog.

Decisions/Decisions = Nikon Monarch or Leupold VXII or III or 3 or Zeiss Conquest.

excellent choices, take a look at the Bushnell Elite 4200 too

IMO 3200 is a great scope for a lil less have around 5 of them and never had a problem.

 

[txgolfer45]

I ended up getting a Bushnell Elite 4200 in 3x9x40. I have it sighted in with a 3 shot group in an inch circle. I think I'm going to like this one!

great choice the 4200 is my favorite! Like Dee mentioned the 3200 is a good choice too

sorry...stupid pet peave.

Dunno why - he's lettin' you know it's a 3x9 scope w/40 mm optics.

Kinda like me sayin' my .308 has a 6x24x50 on it. If you can't figger it out, ya don't need ta be here....<G>

Apparently, you are the only one with this pet peeve!

 

[Big country]

I don't know where you got x27 from the OP said it was a 3x9x40?
What is it chambered for?

 

[TexasRedneck]

He's trying to say that the 3x9 is 27.....

IOW, he's not much of a gun person, IMO.

 

[Big country]

I figured but I thought I'd ask.

 

[codygjohnson]

With respect, the power is 3-9 not 3x9. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the industry that would use 3x9x40, but a lot of people use it for some reason and it's pretty understood I suppose. Like I said, it's just a stupid pet peave. It's clip = mag to me. I'll shut up now, sorry to sidetrack. Sounds like a good trade.

 

[Big country]

What industry are you talking about? It's on the scope boxes! I think you must be looking at European scopes or something.

 

[codygjohnson]

I’ve got an awful lot of boxes in the closet...I can say that Nikon, Swarovski, Zeiss, Leupold, Redfield, Weaver, Bushnell, ATN and Nightforce print:

(lowest power) - (highest power) x (objective diameter).

Again, who cares. You knew what the intent was and I knew what the intent was, I was just bored and on TGT. I should have kept my mouth shut, sorry.

 

[Big country]

Sorry. we were just a little confused by the whole 27 power thing.

 

[Okierifleman]

He is correct in theory about power designation of the scope. He is also correct in theory that he should have never said anything.
