I just took my first step into distance shooting & went out & bought an Accuracy International AE MK III. It just arrived at the store yesterday, unfortunately I have to wait a week before I can walk out with it. Now my next step is to get everything I need to put this gun to work. I've been doing a lot of research on which scope to get but it's really hard for me to judge what would be a good scope for my purposes & what would be overkill based on my limited experience. The gun comes with a "Picatinny rail with 0 moa standard" mount. Unfortunately most of the ranges around here only go to about 300 yards but I still want something that will give me the capability of pushing the limits when I do get the opportunity, I'd say something that can shoot from 600-800 yards comfortably would be something I'm interested in (AI says the effective range of my rifle is 600 yards if that makes a difference). My philosophy is to buy one scope for this gun that I know will perform well in every instance I'll come across rather than getting a scope that I'll want to change out or upgrade someday. Do you guys have any suggestions for me? Given everyone's experience here what you suggest is going to have a huge impact on what I end up deciding to buy.
Thanks,
Sam
