Update I went shooting yesterday for the first time with the SS 3-15. The glass and reticle are very nice. At 100 yards, I can make out holes on 15x, but it would be nice to have a little more power. A guy next to me happened to have the SS 5-20 HD. He looked at my scope and was really...

Alright guys, I ended up purchasing an SS 3-15x42. With the money saved I will buy a decent spotting scope or a target cam. I can't wait to go shooting! Thank you and Happy Labor Day!

Thanks for all your information guys, you have been very helpful. I'm really tempted to pull the trigger on the 3-15, but a part of me is still saying get the 5-20. I will make up my mind by the end of the weekend. Maybe I will luck out and SWFA will have a Labor Day Sale?

Thanks for everyone's help. I'd like to have the better glass on the 5-20 HD, but I think the 3-15 will suit my needs just fine. Plus making long distance shots will probably be more rewarding if I can do it with less magnification. With the money saved, I am thinking about getting a...

Hey, I have a Savage 10 Precision Carbine w/ 20" barrel. I am brand new to precision rifle shooting. I will probably do most of my shooting between 300-600 yards. I would like to work my way up to 1000 yards. There are a couple ranges our here in Nevada which have 1000 yard matches. I...

Hey guys, I am brand new at precision rifle shooting and I am picking up my first bolt action rifle. I ordered a Savage 10 Precision Carbine and will receive it in a few days. The only rifle that has made me second guess my decision is a Remington 700 5R. I will more than likely do most...
