[QUOTE="best defense, post: 2924759, member: 25241"] Yes, there are many optical sights out there on the market that will fill your need. I understand your desire for the built in range finder, but that does limit your choices to I think two or three brands. You will still need to shoot that rifle at the distances it is reading to ensure that it shoots where it is supposed to shoot. Otherwise, there are some good brands that can serve you well for less than $5K. Take a look at Leupold, March, NightForce and a few others I can't think of right now. When evaluating a scope, get it into a stable position then examine the edges of the object you are vewing at distance. The good scopes will be clear and not blurred all the way across the viewing plane. Most scopes will fit your rifle if you mount in in the proper height rings. [B] [/B]While you do not absolutely need the most expensive scope for hunting, especially if you will not be shooting more than about 300 yards or so, when it comes to good reliable glass that has a guarantee, you get what you pay for. That is not a joke. Those 200 or 300 $ scopes you see in some catalogs are usually not reliable or repeatable for adjustments and resistant to fogging. Best of luck and happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
