I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but I am a newb on long range shooting and need some more opinions.
In the past I have had good rifles with cheap optics on top. They were zerod at 100yds and held their zero very well. On shots out to 300yds, I would just hold over and not try to dope the scope at all.
I am really wanting to learn the skill of ranging and dialing in the optics to hit at unknown distances. To do this, I want to use good quality glass with user friendly features. And of course, I am on a strict budget. I am leaning toward the above mentioned scope offered for $200 at Midway USA. It will be going on Savage 10FP in a BC Medalist A2 stock. I am planning on using it out to 600yds.
For the price, is this a simple quality optic to learn with?
Thanks in advance for the help.
