Considering buying a 30 mm scope in the 3-10 X range under $500. Right now, the Burris Euro Diamond 2.5-10x44 looks most inviting in that price range. Anybody got any better suggestions considering quality & price?

I'd probably buy a Conquest 3.5-10x, in a 1 in tube of course.

Look around and see if you can find a Leupold European scope. Kudude

I totally agree on the Zeiss (own 4), but I need a 30 mm to fit the rings on a .338 Win. Sako Finnbear Deluxe that I got a helluva buy on a couple years ago. Considered replacing rings with 1", but kinda want to keep the original Sako rings. Not real familiar with the Leupold European; is it still made? Not many Leupold's in 30 mm for under $500!!!

The Euro 30's are still around and a lot less than $500. I have a 2-7x on my 7x57 that has been drug all over the world. It is a pretty darn good scope and doesn't look silly on a smaller rifle like some 30mm scopes do.

Thanks; I did finally find them. I'm assuming the glass quality & coatings are similar to the VX11, not the VX111, correct?
