I have a Remington sps 700, that is seating glassless, same one from previous post, my first precision bulid/rifle etc . purpose of rifle, paper punching out to 300 yards eventually to 1000 yards but would love to use the rifle to hunt a little. but want to get a nice scope, leupold is the manufacture and too would get to good of a deal to pass up. I was going to say nightforce but they are a little to heavy in the coin department but any Leupold would be within budget so what is your opinions, which scope,reticle rings and base the whole set up

I would get a used NF NXS, it should be in the same price range as a new Leupold. IMHO, all new leupolds are over-glorified POS! They just dont have the same quality they used to.

Agreed, or save some coin and get a used luppy here on the hide.

I just returned from a comp where 90% of the optics were Loopy. I witnessed 6+ of them go down or loose adjustment. Granted some had never been exercised beyond 300 but I was appalled by the failure rate. I observed a par of NF's, an IOR and a pair of Bushnell's hold their own.

FWIW I'd save my pennies and take the next step. The LR/T M1's seemed to fair MUCH better than the MK-4's.

IMHO, YRMV, ect........

Cheers,

Doc

No matter what you decide on, make sure you get tactical turrets (1/4 moa, don't bother with 1/8moa) and a mil dot reticle. I wish I'd never bought a scope without both.

I'm very happy with both of my MK 4's reguardless what others say.

Ditto as well. I don't think you go wrong with this setup.
