I've recently purchased a Remington 700 VS .308 from a friend of mine. This rifle seems to be a real shooter. The first (and only) 3 shot group I shot with the rifle measured 0.354" at 100 yards. Being that I think this rifle has a lot of potential for precision shooting I would like to give it a decent scope.
What options do I have out there in the $600 dollar range for decent glass to shoot out to 400 yards or so. The scopes I've looked at so far are the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44, Vortex Viper HS 5-15 (Midway exclusive out of stock), Super Snipers 16x and 20x and various other random scopes such as Bushnell Elites and Weavers.
Power range is the more the merrier for me, reticle I don't really care but prefer mildot or some variation of, I don't care if it is illuminated but that's a plus, exposed turrets are a plus but not necessary. Zero resetable turrets are a big plus.
Good light transmission, good clarity, sharp images at high power, good quality and a good warranty are all musts.
Rifle is a range queen only, will not be used for hunting.
