First - I want to admit that I am confused. I have read what seems hundreds of threads and thousands of posts on the scope forum. Telling me this question has been covered before will not be helpful. Plus advice that was given two years ago (yes I have gone back that far) will not take into account new offerings that have come to market.
Here is what I have;
Remington .308 M700 ADL with 26" HB - (Dick's special gun)
McRee's chassis on order and due to arrive this week
Here is what I need/want:
Scope for target and sniping duty at 400-1000 yards. I think the zero stop is a good feature so it needs that. MIL/MIL and a reticle that is easy to use for holding off but not too "busy". I am not married to any manufacturer but will not buy a SS. My budget is in the $2000 range.
I also need a good scope mount. It would be great if it was QD but not if that compromises accuracy or reliability.
This part is tricky to say and not meant to be offensive. Please do not respond unless you have practical experience with a number of different optics. I see so many posts from those justifying the equipment they have or can afford. I thought my Ford was a great car until I took my buddies Mercedes out for a drive.
Lastly, I suspect there may be reluctance for some sponsors to select one manufacturer over another. If that is the case, PM me with your recommendations.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Don
