[QUOTE="AR10_65WSM, post: 108298, member: 5945"] I need help making a choice for a new scope and have some questions, as this will be my first long range scope. 1) Which power scope would be best 2.5-10, 4.5-16 or 6X20? 2) Price is important, but I am looking in the $1400 or less range. 3) What would be a good all around reticle for target/hunting The rifle it will go on is a 26" barreled custom AR10 chambered for a wildcat based on the 7WSM necked to 6.5, If all goes well it should do about 3100-3200 fps with a 140gr bullet. It is mostly going to be a target gun (200-1000 yds)but I may do some long range hunting with it. I like the Leupold 54560,54680 also the Nightforce 5.5-22x50 and the Zeiss 5214559943. I have not been able to find a dealer in my area that stocks these higher end scopes so I can not make a choice by comparing them side by side. Thanks again, and sorry for the newbe questions.
