[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 422808, member: 14257"] Hello, I am a big reader here but not much for posting. I am looking for advice or recommendations for a new scope. I am having my first custom rifle built up for 260 REM. I will be using it as an affordable long range shooting platform (ammo wise). [URL="http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/Rockfish_Dave/?action=view¤t=XLR65_044MOD5.jpg"][IMG]http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/Rockfish_Dave/th_XLR65_044MOD5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] (Simlar to this one). The expected range is a 1000 meter known distance range and (hopefully) two practical tactical rifle competitions next year. I am looking for a mil/mil FFP, variable power scope that offers the Horus reticule. I have done business with Horus Vision before and suffice to say it was PAINFUL and I will not be buying a scope from them, but they do have a great reticule. Of particular interest are Premier Reticules Heritage scopes and the new Leopold [SIZE=2]MK4 M5 ER/T FFP. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I also don't know what power scope to get. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I have and am perfectly comfortable with a couple high power scopes that I currently have:[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I.O.R.
