Hello there fine folks,
i'm just now approaching this field, and i'm nowhere near as informed as i need to be to make an educated purchase, even though i've been trying to study online quite a bit.
The rifle i'm about to buy is probably gonna be either a CZ 457 Varmint or a Tikka T1X MRT (me being unfamiliar with this field makes me think those are probably cheap toys to many of you but hey, i'm just starting
).
Problem is... The scope. There are so many and so many specs that i'm going crazy, but based on the info i've gathered, i think what i'm looking for would be something like a 3-9x40 at the very least (even though the one i'm currently keeping an eye on is the Vector Optics Orion Pro Max 6-24X50 FFP SCFF-44), adjustable parallax, a mil-dot reticle and definitely FFP.
I'm probably (definitely) missing a bunch of others specs, (like i don't know how important an illuminated reticle would be, and so on) but... thoughts?
As for my budget, i'd try to stay around/not exceed 250$/€ (i'm from Europe, so something available there). My goal at the moment is learning and practice shooting at the range and that's it. I have a low to medium shooting experience and a low long range shooting experience.
Thanks in advance to anybody willing to share their wisdom with me!
