Hello all,
I am new to the PRS/long-range bolt action rifle community. The main goal is to start to compete in prs events. I got a good deal on a blemished Aero Precision Solus competition in 6mm Creedmor. I am trying to get budget items that are of good quality, but I want to upgrade in the future if I do well in the comps. I’d like for the main cost to be around $500-600 for the scope. Right now, the brands that seem to be compatible to fit these stipulations include Arken, Athlon, DNT, and maybe Riton. I understand an arken or Athlon is not going to be as clear or close to a nightforce or zeiss. I plan on upgrading in the future, but want something that'll allow me to learn for a year or two before i upgrade. The features most important to me are decent glass, Christmas tree style reticle, and zero stop. I’m not opposed to something used either. I’m a veteran so I can get some pretty good pricing from most companies but will still like to be around $500-600. Also if you have any other recommendations for gear please let me know! Thank you. If this is not the proper place to post this, please let me know
