[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1236775, member: 12995"] Well, an old cowboy once said... "Good saddles ain't cheap, and cheap saddles ain't good". You could say the same about optics, rings, and bases as well. No, you will not find a $200 scope that will handle this task repeatably over and over again. The closest thing to $200 would be the SWFA SS... They are great scopes for the money. [url]http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-10x42M-Tactical-Riflescope-P53713.aspx[/url] For rings, you want something quality (not cheap) that will take the bumps and knocks and keep that scope locked-down tight. I recommend Seekins Precision rings, I use them on almost EVERY precision rifle I own (I still have a few with different setups). With that scope you will want 30mm low height rings. [url]http://swfa.com/Seekins-Precision-Scope-30mm-Rings-P47911.aspx[/url] For a base, you will want a 20MOA for reaching out to 1K yards. I use EGW HD bases on all my rifles. Not sure if yours is a round receiver or flat receiver...
