Hi guys, I'm new hear so please bear with me while I learn the ropes.
I've recently bought a Rem 700 Varmint in .308 and a B&C A2 stock.
I have a tight budget for glass
but need something useful out past 600m
The best deal I've come across seems to be the Vortex Viper PA 6.5-20x50mm @ $460 but am wondering if the Bushnell ELite Tactical ERS 6-24x50mm @ $600 is a better buy in the long run? I have 30mm Badger Ord rings so am looking for something in 30mm tube. I'm open to other suggestions also?
Thoughts?
Cheers
