[QUOTE="Rucker61, post: 659010, member: 47968"] I have a CZ 527 Varmint in .223 and a CZ 550 I just bought in .270. My current plan is to use the .270 for antelope and mule deer in Colorado and Wyoming, and to spend the summer shooting many, many rounds of .223/5.56 through the 527 to work on becoming a better shot. I'm trying to figure out a good strategy for scope purchases and use. Currently there's a Vortex Crossfire 4-16x on the .223 and a newly purchased Vortex Diamondback 3.9x on the .270. I've already decided that the Diamondback is going back and the Crossfire is already up for sale. Current budget is $600-$800. I have two leading strategies: buy a SWFA SS 6x in mil/mil for the hunting rifle and one in 12x mil/mil for the target rifle, and work on ranging over the summer learning milrads. The other is to get a pair of Vortex Vipers, one in 3-9x, the other undecided, with BDC, shoot enough out of both guns to get good data for custom turrets and put the TMT turrets on both. A new strategy is to buy just one scope, full budget, and shoot it all summer on the .223 then switch it to the .270 for hunting season. I plan on buying a laser rangefinder in any case. I'm a born again newbie, as I haven't shot much or hunted at all in about 40 years. I can shoot 1 MOA if I pay attention, and I've got buddies to take me out hunting. I have access to a range with 300 yds lanes. Any suggestions, or pushes in a new direction? [/QUOTE]
