[QUOTE="BenY 2013, post: 469000, member: 30866"] I've been lurking here for a while now and finally decided to join. So far I love the forum. I am very new into the game of long range shooting, and am on a budget. I can't buy a rifle right now but have an idea and wanted to run it by all of you to see what y'all thought about it.....the gun will be used for hunting( whitetail, and if I ever get to go elk and mulies) also wanting to punch paper at 600-1000 yards someday...... I am looking at a buying a Stevens 200 in .308 and modifying the stock something like the Savage Tactical Rifle Project article.....only I'd like the stock to look more like a B&C medalist.....I'll most likely float and bed the barrel as well...... As far as scopes go I have 4 in mind...... Bushnell Elite 3200 5-14x40 Tactical, Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x40 AO, Leupold AR 3-9x40 and Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40.......all of these scopes I found for around $300 to 375 and can't spend much if any more than that.....if you can reccomend a good scope with variable power and a mild-dot reticle priced around 350 please do. Also would kind of like target nobs but I don't know if they are really needed for long range shooting.... I was planning on using burris tactical rings and an EGW 20MOA base.......so how does all of this sound any reccomendations would help...... Thank you for any help:D [/QUOTE]
