[QUOTE="Rodbolt, post: 2979180, member: 7787"] The scope requested will be less then ideal. He said mostly for hunting with some 1000 yard target. The reticle of a wide range first focal plane scope will be too fine/small on 3 to 4 power when hunting, scope will be heavy/bulky on a nice 700 in 3006. His 3-9 Conquest is a great, Great, scope for hunting ranges on a 3006. I recommend a second scope for 1000 yd target, use a quality rail with appropriate rings and switch scopes when hunting or target shooting. 1000 yd target ammo means re-sighting from hunting ammo so a couple minutes to swap scopes will be worth it. A dedicated target scope can be bulky, heavier and higher power—really opens up the choices. With a good mounting system the scopes will be surprisingly close to their prior zero. [/QUOTE]
