Suggestions for varmint scope for .243

I have the Bushnell Trophy 4-12x with adjustable objective lens on two of my rifles and I think they are a very good scope. I have one mounted on a 6mm that I use for woodchucks and it seems ideal to me for that use.

Check out Cabela's Alaskan Guide line. I can honestly say I have no idea who makes them, but I put one on my .243 for varmint hunting and it is dynamite. I don't know if they'll hold up to recoil, but they are very accurate in adjustments and it has held it's zero for a couple of years now without any tweaking. It's in that price range, and it's a good scope in my opinion, I'm sure there are others on here that will say otherwise. Another option is to go with the Bushnell Elite series. I have a B&L Elite 3000 on my .30-06 and it's also a great scope.

Go to www.dnrsports.com and take a look at these scopes. Prices are rough estimates:

Nikon Monarch 5.5x-16.5x-44mm ($350)
Bushnell Elite 4200 4x-12x-40mm ($340)
Nikon Monarch 4x-12x-40mm ($325)
Bushnell Elite 3200 5x-15x-40mm ($275)[/color]

I highly recommend these scopes for your use and your price range (granted most are a little above your $300 range, but really not much.)
