[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 670533, member: 10291"] Your rifle and caliber will enable 1000 yard hunting capability. Base capability for a scope that balances well with your choice of rifle/caliber would be: 5x20 power range Side parallax adjustment Turrets/ 30mm tube for sufficient elevation range A crosshair that includes a MOA horizontal graduations for windage holds, vertical graduations will be determined by whether you want to use reticule holds with a calibrated reticle. Some decision points will be: Use of turrets or Reticle holds for elevation adjustment at distance. If turrets, choice of MOA or yardage, Your budget is suffucient to get a solid scope. Don't think you could go wrong with a Nightforce NXS, Leupold MK4, or Huskemaw, just to name a few. I have used all three with good success. It is at the high end or may cost a little more than your budget, but the Nightforce NXS 5.5x22 with an MOA reticle is probably the standard by which most scopes are judged for LRH. [/QUOTE]
