[QUOTE="Lonestar260, post: 1119248, member: 92208"] Hello everyone, I have recently acquired a Remington 700 VLS in 260 Remington and have been working on making it my first long range gun in hopes of being able to shoot a thousand with it. This is really my first attempt at long range past 300 or 400 yards. It is something that really intrigues me and that I would like to get in to. I have been saving and it is time that I invest in a good scope for it but I am quite green on what to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I would like to keep the price $1200 or less. That is the max my budget will allow right now. I have read good things about the Nightforce SHV, Vortex Viper PST, and SFWA SS scopes but I am open to any suggestions. Like I said I am pretty green with high end scopes and their features. I know NF is great but didn't know if there was anything else out there that would be better in that price range or not. I currently have a old millett 6-24x56 on my 260 now but I know I need something that will track better and have better optics. I am somewhat familiar with moa but I don't see a reason why I couldn't pick up mrad or mill if need be if there is an advantage? Also I read a lot online about first focal plane and second focal plane. Can someone please explain to me the difference? Thank you all in advance for any help, Glen [/QUOTE]
