In my quest good used rifle scopes online, I’ve tried almost all the brands available. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this experience is the amount of money you spent is equal to the amount of quality you get. From jewelry to electronics to almost every product, this concept holds true. And the more expensive your purchase, the more you take care of it. Used items especially the second rate brands almost always provide no warranty; so why buy them?

But the first rate brands like Leupold, Swarovski, Trijicon or Zeiss rifle scopes are still excellent even if they’re already used. These companies provide A-1 scopes and a more flexible warranty. A second hand Swarovski is especially great because they’re considered as number one in the industry. The Swarovski’s exterior is made from high grade aluminum that’s why it can withstand even the harshest conditions. In shooting situations like in the woods, it is vital for the scope to be sturdy and still perform optimally. The few extra bucks that you’ll spend in purchasing a used scope from a first rate company will surely be worth it. I know this firsthand, just by looking at all of the cheap Zeiss scopes that I've accumulated over the years.

Following Swarovski, Nikon also gives a lot of value for the money. For about $250, a customer can select between a Monarch and a Buckmaster. An amazing 95% light transmission and 30mm tube variations are the main features of their crown jewel, the Monarch. Not that far behind is the Buckmaster which can transmit light at a rate of 92%. Nothing comes close to Nikon at this price range.

Lastly, in looking for great used rifle scopes online, you can also look into the lines and models offered by Burris. The quality of these scopes is quite decent but what set them apart is their Forever Warranty. This warranty is applicable even if you’re not the product’s first owner. This is a great feature because any problem that may arise from your purchased product; whether the lens coating starts to flake or the scope fogs up when aiming, you could return the item and it will surely be repaired or replaced. The type of warranty is certainly handy especially in used scopes.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, in buying scopes, the quality you get is directly proportional to the money you spent. And of course, your hunting needs play the most vital factor in selecting. But personally, I highly recommend Zeiss used rifle scopes online because you can benefit heavily from their quality and reasonable price.
