been researching around, and according to the chart on a thread i found on Snipers hide, i would be wanting a mid range scope, about a 22x variable zoom for 100-1k yards.
i will be shooting mostly around 11am-5pm so there will be alot of lighting. i will mostly be shooting in the south eastern areas of georgia, where it gets pretty hot and humid.
budget, i would like to go cheap as possible, but when it comes to your scope, most of the time you get what you pay for, my max budget will prob be around $1,300, the same price i paid for my reming 700 5r .308
i was looking at some nightforces but i don't really want to fork over $1,600 for a first time buy as a new shooter. I would prefer windage knobs etc.
thanks in advance.
