[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1619629, member: 38048"] The Bushnell scope your looking at is a tank. Very heavy duty and nice glass. Heavy duty means heavy. Look at the weight. For the rifle you have I would look for 3-12 or 3-15 max. 25-06 has the energy and range for deer to about 500 yards give or take. I've shot some of my best 1000 yard groups with my scope turned down to 15. They shoot 2000 yard compatition with 5-25 scopes all the time. Don't get caught up with high magnification. First it's not needed to shoot long range. 2nd mirage will limit how much power you can use. And big power comes with big price and big weight. My .02 cents. Might only be worth .01 cent.
