Need advice on Scope, Mount & Rings
Hi, I'm just starting out with distance target shooting. I have a Savage 10FP on order but I'm not sure which make of Base, Rings and Scope to get. I keep reading that quality counts when it comes to the Scope, Mount and Rings. I'm not looking to spend a fortune so something that is middle of the road price wise is what I am looking for. Any suggestions would be welcomed!

Re: Need advice on Scope, Mount & Rings
My two cents would be look into the vortex viper pst line If you want a mill or moa scope. I purchased one for my 300 win mag, so far I really like it and seems to be fine for me. It didn't break my budget and seems to have great reviews.

The viper is a very good scope at a great price. I like Seekins rings and bases. Great features, great quality, good prices.

Welcome to LRH and enjoy!
If you put a dollar amount on your budget (i.e. under a $1,000), you'll get better suggestions for your consideration.
Good luck!

Burris XTR Rings, EGW base 20MOA, Weaver Tactical 5-20, Viper PST, Falcon Menace, Bushnell 6-24 4200 Elite Tactical, Nikon Monarch, Millet LRS.... depends on what you are looking for. Any of the above optics will serve you well.

Re: Need advice on Scope, Mount & Rings
+1 to what liltank said,
I would add Burris Signature Zee Rings in weaver style, and an EGW Weaver style base.
For scope you might also look at the super sniper 3x9, it is a pretty solid scope for the money. Lots of good suggestions on scopes so far.

Re: Need advice on Scope, Mount & Rings
Here are my three suggestions.
First, lowest cost, Bushy 3200 10x mil-dot. Discontinued, but you can find used for about $150. Good reviews. Works. I have one on the way.
Second, Buckmaster 4.5-14 mil-dot. Used for about $225. I have two. work great, I crank the crap out of the turrets, and it works. Good optics at low cost.
Third, Viper. Hard to beat. $400 to $900 depending on model. Great optics, even better customer service. Great reviews. A PST FFP will be my next scope.
Try to get your hands on them all and decide for yourself. Something will trip your trigger.
