[QUOTE="joe0121, post: 528944, member: 26058"] +1 for the viper PST The 44mm objective one can be had for 600-ish and is excellent glass. In fact it's going on the Stevens build. A 3/4 MOA or better rifle with glass for 1500 bucks out the door is hard to beat. Oh by the way buy another barrel and You can change calibers in ten minutes. Add another 20 to re-zero glass and input data in ballistics calculator. Also the standard Viper is a good choice. Than in the 1k category you have Leupold and Nightforce, the hands down winner being NF. "Tactical" scopes are well suited to long range hunting for the same reason they are well suited to combat. Rugged, good glass, repeatable clicks and range estimating reticle. As scopes go best glass per price point I rate them in this order Really Cheap: <300 Sightmark Cheap Vortex >400Viper Cheapish <600 Viper PST Mid range <1000 NightForce Expensive <2000 US Optics SN3 Uber expensive <3000 Schmidt and bender Honorable Mention Nikon, Trijicon, Bushnell, Leupold (Mk4 or VXL) Redfield for short range flat shooting rounds. You Mileage may very but go to a F-class and benchrest Competition and look at what glass the scope are wearing. [/QUOTE]
