Rifle Scopes New kid question What optic to get

Re: New kid question What optic to get

Immerse yourself in the first focal plane(FFP), mil/mil Koolaide.

Try to find a used Bushnell tactical or Vortex PST.

You can read up on scopes/features on the sticky at the top of this optics forum.
 
Re: New kid question What optic to get

I got this one for my Rem 700 .308 and I like it. I got it for $650 on line, I had to shop around for the low price but if you wait one will come up. Here is the info: Bushnell Tactical 6-24x50 Rifle Scope FFP Illuminated ET6245F

It's not a NF but it does the job...
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Once you have determined what glass you want try keeping an eye on SWFA's sample list. The good deals don't last long but they do pop up occasionally.

I am new too and recently got a great deal on a Vortex Viper PST 4-16 FFP MOA. Keep looking and you can pick up some good deals. For the price, the Vortex has alot of great features.
