[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1369582, member: 96226"] Well recoil should be manageable so you're not into insane-o kick that'll abuse the optic. That means the world is your oyster. First thing first, decide if you're going to buy a scope that will work well for now or if you're buying one that will be an investment. I'd encourage you to really save up and put the best glass you can on it so you can see well enough to stretch its legs. brand has been less important than what you get for your money. You could slap a lot of different stuff on there from 16x SWFA's at 300 bucks to Hensholdt unobtanium at 7 grand. Personally I like a lot of US Optics, Vortex's Razor line, Nightforce Beasts and ATACR's, Schmidt & Bender PMII's, IOR Recon's and Crusaders, Steiner Military models and that sort of thing. That said, those are all expensive as hell. For a lot less something like a Burris XTR II or a Bushnell ER or LR model is a good option. Decide on features that you need and price that you can pay. Then we find the offerings that will deliver quality. Accurate and consistent click values are extremely important at long range. I would suggest that you could get a lot of useful information from the Sniper101 series on YouTube from TiborasaurusRex. There's several videos dedicated to optics and optics selection. After you've done those check out rexdefense.org and consider attending one of his seminars and then a live fire event. Those 100% will make you a better shooter. They're really good classes.
