Rifle Scopes Narrowing glass options down...

[calawey]

Been shooting handguns and tactical rifles for years now and am moving into LRS as well.

Recently purchase a Remington 700P 308. For now, wanting to shoot 100-500yds at the range...fortunate that Brownell's range is down the road and goes out to 500.

My budget is $500. Would prefer Mil-dot reticle and a side parallax.

I've tried researching as much as possible here on the SH forum and would now like further help with possible glass solutions for my situation.

I've also been to my local Sportsman's Warehouse and looked at several Nikon options including the M308 w/ BDC and most recently on DVOR.com as they have a selection of rifle scopes on there today.

Would appreciate any suggestions even if reasonably out of my budget. Thank you!

Take a look at some of the SWFA scopes, I think that's the price range your asking for. They have a mil scope in 3-15x42, check that one out

Vortex in SFP

Check out SWFA's Sample List and grab one of their 3-9's. It has neither side parallax nor illumination, but it's a solid optic, FFP, mil/mil, and should be right around your $500 budget (w/o rings or a base).

Make sure you get first focal plane regardless of what it is.

FFP would be best but with his budget, I would rather have a SFP with better glass then a FFP with Sh*ty glass

I'm thinking a fixed 10X might be the way to go. Check SWFA.

Just make sure it's FFP

Yup!

If your budget is around $500 and you want some quality then SS is the best option.

Some more great options in the $450-$550 range. These are all mil/mil and have great glass, parallax adj., and lifetime warranties:
Burris 4.5-14x42 MTAC 30mm Rifle Scope
Leupold 4-12x40 Mark AR MOD 1 Riflescope
Vortex 4-16x44 Viper HS-T 30mm Rifle Scope

This suggestion is a couple hundred more than your budget but it would be well worth it to splurge given all the features this has and the good reviews it's received. SFWA 3-15x42

SWFA SS 3-15x42 Tactical Rifle Scope

Are you going to hunt with it

I'm not planning to hunt with it. Main use will be at the range.
