Hello,
I've been stalking this forum for about 2 weeks straight. Learned a lot about optics, quality, reticles, ffp, loads, you name it.
Don't want to jabber a lot and need help in selecting a scope after reading the stickies and many topics.
I have bought myself a Rem700P in 308.
This is what I'm looking for:
- 100 to 400 yards
- shooting groups on paper (I reckon I need large magnification?)
- no hunting
The local shop only had a Falcon 5-25 and a 10-50 (but on the website it states this is for below 100yard competition shooting) which were both very cheap but there doesn't seem to be a lot of shooters behind it on Sniper's Hide.
I'm all for buy something for $1000 (my rifle cost enough) and use it for 20years such as a bushnell 6-24. I haven't seen what 24magnification at 400yards looks like (I don't have access to this range yet), so I'm not sure if I need a higher mag for what I want to do.
Any input or a link to a topic that I might have missed during my search is welcome.
Geno
